Echo Mixer & Echo Decals Idea
As someone that uses Echoes to decorate my ranch, I love them, even though they have no practical use. I color-code the ranch areas with different echoes and line any places where I might fall off with Red Echoes as a reminder to be careful so I don't run off an edge like an idiot. They make the place look great, especially since I have so few ornaments, and are a great way to make my home a bit nicer and brighter.

However, Echoes are limited to just 4 colors: Red, Blue, Green, and Gold. And it takes a while to place all those little motes of light one at a time.

Thus, I want to suggest the ideas of an Echo Mixer and Echo Decals/Stickers.

The Echo Mixer is a device for The Lab that takes Echoes placed in the Refinery and combines them with other Echoes or objects to create Echoes in new colors. Red and Blue make Purple Echoes; Blue and Green make Teal Echoes. Things like that just to expand the range of colors.

Echo Decals/Stickers are decorative objects for Gadget Spots, only these are located on walls, between fence posts, along paths, and depict simple forms and patterns: a tree, ocean waves, a stop sign, arrows, a smiling slime, etc. A simple version could use Echoes in a preset amount/color and is just placed/removed like regular decorations. These could be a great way to decorate empty or bland space, of which here is a good amount around the ranch.

What does everyone else think? Or am I alone in this and using Echoes as decorations?

This sounds really neat, But I think they would probably work more like the slime costumes, you place down a dispenser and an get an unlimited amount of said decal, or it could be limited.
Also while I think Echo mixing would be a neat concept, it is technically already in game, if you shoot a red and blue echo in the same spot it looks purple, if you shoot a yellow and red it looks orange. Although I do think it would be neat to be able to use some form of echo mixing machine. What if you could create custom chroma-packs with the echo colours? That would be awesome.

Well, all of that is not needed, but it sure sounds cool. I like the idea, if it was added it would not be bad. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't be mad.
Overall, cool idea !
