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.

    Not quite, because each frame/skin reacts differently to different colors and also I like variety but I do have a sort of a ruleset that majority of my frames use:

    • I pick a color or two I want to work with depending on the vibe I’m trying to achieve.
    • the channel that covers the most area or feels like the “base” is usually a very light shade close to white or a very dark shade close to black - sometimes the second most covering channel gets same rule just reversed. Sometimes with the close to white shades I just go for a very light warm shade or very light cold shade if the color I picked doesn’t quite have this kinda thing (for example green)
    • if the secondary color is not the reversed base rule, then it gets the darker one of the two colors or a darker shade of color I picked.
    • the tertiary color gets a more striking, brighter color, the “pop” color.
    • the metallic accent channel is usually gold (Easter C1R1 my beloved), sometimes rose gold, bronze/copper or silver. Depends on vibe I feel works best with the combo.
    • energy colors are either a combo of the picked colors or something that compliments them.

    And to not leave this write up without an example, here’s my Khora and my Mesa and their color schemes:
