Linen Cloaks : Let us select color through a color swatch.

[electricdawn]

As the title implies, please let us select the color through a color swatch. I really like the dark grey slate color, which perfectly fits the Fenris set and is still a decent fit for the padded set, but the other colors are hit and miss.

I made the green cloak to work together with my root armor, and the light green of the cloak clashes garishly with the subdued greens and browns of the root armor. A darker green or maybe even brownish tone would've been a much better fit.

Thank you for your time.

Conan Exiles has an interesting system where you can get all sorts of colors via different dyes. I could envision a similar system in Valheim.
You'd have to craft a Dye Station. You create dyes similar to how you make different meads only you don't have to wait for things to ferment. Here's how I think dyes could be made:
Red = 4 Raspberries
Blue = 4 Blueberries
Yellow = 4 Daisies
Green = 2 Guck
White = 4 Cloudberries
Black = 2 Coal
Purple = 2 raspberries + 2 blueberries
Orange = 2 raspberries + 2 daisies
(Maybe change the green formula from guck to 2 blueberries + 2 daisies?)
In addition to those colors you can create a lighter and darker shade by adding a cloudberry or coal respectively.
If they wanted to be a pain about it, they could make it that you have to create a dye base in the fermenter first. Ugh!!
Theoretically you create many different shades by allowing various combinations of the base ingredients. A created dye can be used 5 or 6 times, similar to how you get 6 mead items after fermenting. To apply there would be two slots in the Dyer, an item slot and a slot for the dye.
In addition, you can create paint by combining 1 dye with 1 tar. You would have to craft a Paintbrush. It would operate similar to a hammer only you'd have to select a paint as the secondary equipped item. Paint would stack in your inventory. Then you just "paint" the building pieces you want painted and viola!

Even though that's not what I really asked for, it is a very intriguing idea for building paints, which I already requested some time ago. Your idea is much more detailed, though.

I like it!

Haha... yeah. I can get carried away with my ideas sometimes.
