Nightmare set colours
yeah some prats of the sylvari armor is set to match your skin color, because it is supposed to grow out of your sylvari. It’s the same with the cultural sets.
As nice as it is from a lore standpoint, it makes the job of dying Sylvari cultural armour that much harder and actually looks rather bad. =/
I’m gonna try do dye it of a nice color that match the skin then.
Thank you!
I never found dying of Sylvari armor a problem. The easiest way is to use the colors you used for your Sylvari during creation (skin, eyes, luminescence, hair) and their similar shades. Unles you even there picked colors that clash it should work just fine with the basic armor color.
Though I gotta admit it probably gets more complicated with T2 and T3 sets, T1 Heavy skin I’m still using is relatively clearly divided into coloring sections making it easy to decide where use which color.
A word of advice (worked at least for T1 heavy), use your bioluminescence color for outlines, they tend to glow too.

Yeah, exactly. Lately I started wearing the light T1 armor and it looks fabulous when painted in hues similar to the ones I used for my body.
Yes, that’s the problem: I don’t want to dye the cultural armour the same colours as my Sylvari in order to blend it in and make it look good. You shouldn’t have to.

Well, in that case you’re bound to work with kinda big color scheme (At least 4-5 colors for your Sylvari + at least another 3 colors for armor) which makes it harder to look well together.
But armor dyed in your Sylvari’s colors doesn’t necessarily have to blend in. Depends on which color(s) you choose as dominant (and of course on the colors of your Sylvari)
I’m using only my Sylvari’s colors and don’t think it looks too bad (could use a darker shade of purple though)
