Share Your Material Color Discoveries

[xxxaziexxx]

I'm working on a new set of Hermetic's armor and I'm curious what colors everyone is getting from different materials.

I've seen people say Harpy makes things a dull red.

I just made some Carnute gloves and they were a deep, rich coffee brown.

Bug definitely makes bright Yellow. In a single word: Sunflower.
I made a backpack using fabric (from thread,) made from bound Straps, resulting in a pleasant Green color.
Predator Pelt seems to be tan.
I have not tested prey pelt on my newer recipes, though I noted that the poncho made from Prey lacked the wolf-fur fluff of the predator pelt version.
Part of the problem with keeping track of the colors is how some items pull from different things. Instead of pulling from fabric, my umbrella pulled color from the wood, apparently.

Not exactly an answer for you but something i wouldn't mind implemented:
The different ingredients give different colors to the clothing. Problem is if i want a melee build then i am not gonna use an ingredient that gives me a nice color if the ingredient leans towards a magicka build.

They should add a dye system. Fashion is something most endgame content is based around, look at FFlX

The variety is fake somehow, I personally discovered everything giving the same color to hermetic veil for example.. made like 10 of them now with completely different materials, full Jana, full glowing mushroom t5 from the swamp and t5 super rare fiber from the dessert (only came across those fibers once in 50+ desert runs) just to name a few and they allll gave me some purplish red color, all ended the same so I don't really think now all equipment color is based on material somehow, wasted so much good rare stuff it's sad, thought at least the glowing mushroom fiber would end up in something cool because it has absolutely no stats and still is considered t5+ rarity

Fashion is actuall all the endgame is about, I did like nothing else in the end except trying to get new color or making my home full pagoda beauty

1k hours in Conan Exiles and most of that was about fashion and building cool looking bases and cities. The lack of control over appearance prevents fashion here, and the extremely small item limit prevents creative building and decorating.

We're still on the very first early access patch so I'm not concluding that those two things are going to stay like they are. But if they do, the game is definitely not for me.

I agree. And honestly, I would have very much preferred the placeholder colors be grey, brown, or black not...yellow.

Harpy creates a nice brick red. Haddox ox, however, gives you splotchy cow patterned beige and black, that just doesn't really work. It looks like a texture error more than a pattern. My friend just made trousers out of either bug or spider (sorry - he didn't remember, will edit if I can get more specific) hide from a forest herbarium and ended up with day-glow green. Made my NTTC duster out of T2 swamp fiber and it's beige.
