I don't know if it is able to be replicated, but when I accepted a chroma armor package from future war cult, I did not receive any chroma armor. The only item I received was a basic hunter cloak. Nothing else was dropped in my inventory or post master.

One of the potential drops from the chroma packages is a class item with the name "spektar". Despite being a drop from the chroma package, it doesn't have a node to light it up with a specific color.
