Guild Wars 2

with every other set, the color stays fairly consistent through the whole set, regardless of the weapon being used, but the crimson set is fairly odd in that some skins have a very deep Red color, but others have a Pink color. is this just my eyes messing with me here?

is this just a case of the red skins showing this more prevalent and the previous skins just used such bright colors that it was less noticeable? to me it seems fairly obvious. i would have thought it was a case of the item’s thickness, but the staff head is a fair bit thicker than the greatsword, and, well… here’s 3 of the skins for comparison.

No I see it too, the GS is a very different shade of red, and I noticed it before reading your post.

It’s probably worth grabbing a high res screenshot and using a graphics program to confirm that they are (or are not) different colors.

For what it’s worth: that looks like the same color to me, with different amounts of contrast, that our brain interprets (in the right context) as looking different.

The greatsword blade’s color is definitely more pale and not as rich of a red as the staff and sword.

i kinda like the pink look a little, but i was really hoping they would all be that dark rich red. the name Crimson evokes such an image in my mind, at least.

kitten it, I can’t unsee that now

any Dev wanna comment on it?

They look to be the same color, but the ‘holographic fog’ around the Greatsword has a more pale element to it.
