Hello everyone,
Wondering if anyone else does this. I’ve got a few colors, dark black, bright red, yellow-white, and a shade or two of orange… and everything of mine is in those colors.
All guns, all warframes, my robotic companions. All of it. It’s all done up in the same set of colors so that everything more or less matches.
I don’t bluntly apply ‘copy warframe colors’ to everything, I specifically go through and shade my gear and occasionally shift shades just a bit on some pieces or omit one of the colors, and rarely add a new one to just that piece. But essentially everything is done up in a limited set of colors.
This month I decided to dabble with the new palette on one of the frames I use frequently… I kinda like what I’ve done but I haven’t used it in missions yet. Might make some alt-coloration of my usual gear and try it out.
I usually use dark grey, gold, and various shades of purple.
I am fairly boring with my colors, its typically 2 picks from smoke + maybe gold + color of my choosing.
Other than that spam random until something looks cool.
Voidshell skins get some fun additional tweaks with reflective properties so i have an all shiny black sheen with all of the teeth glowing neon green on Voruna.
I usually use black, white, and gold for the physical appearance and blue or gold with purple for energy.
Some skins don’t work well with white but usually everything works with black.
Some abilities have naturally inverted colours (Wisp for example) so I use gold and purple instead of the usual blue and purple because it otherwise doesn’t look as desired.
Here’s an example I made just now on Zephyr Prime.
Oh yeah, that looks good! And I see you also stack your Mastery plates for display.
Thanks! I didn’t know what to do with the plates at first because I wanted to stack them but also be able to see them often, so I decided to put them behind the Arsenal.
This is how it looks now.
I’m waiting for Kullervo or Wisp Prime to be released to reach LR3 and finish the last missing tile on top.
Nice! I went for a slightly different take using the same elements:
Obviously I’m not quite so far on the MR grind but I’ll have to figure out how to incorporate the LR plates once I get there.
I did random colors with the starter palette on my Volt and having been using variations of that ever since. Same idea as you where it’s an intelligent process not just a blind copy, but always the same colors or shades. Bright blue and yellow as the leads, with reds and whites as the accents depending on the frame/weapon. My friends make fun of me for it because it ends up looking very comic book superheroey and it’s a struggle with some frames but I like the themeing. Especially after the New War where it almost feels lore inspired by being my family’s original Zariman Suit colors.
But recently I’ve been scrolling through the other palette’s I’ve unlocked and barely touched and I feel almost guilty about not exploring my other options. Maybe I’ll follow your lead and try an alt-scheme. That way I can still feel like I’m themeing but I can take advantage of my new options.
I do have a standard set of colors I like to use but will tweak them based on the item. Plus there are set colors not part of the standard colors for special weapons to highlight the unique markings.
The bigger one is having a few set colors for the energy.
