Just like the title says, I feel this would skyrocket the amount of customization and creativity available to players, and while I am no developer, I don't think this is a particularly difficult change to make.
For example, I saw an excellent hunter set taking advantage of the dark/pale green and black in the refurbished black armory shader. I wanted to replicate this on my titan... however despite my best efforts I could only get black and red (while yes this is what the shader is intended for; it just wasn't what I was aiming for).
As always, love you Bungie, love your game.

Edited by Emurinus: 9/3/2022 1:17:53 AMI've once suggested a custom shader UI where you can pick up to four shaders to make up a custom shader palette for your character. The menu would look similar to the emote menu and each shader would make up a quadrant (for a lack of better term) of the custom shader, using the color of its respective quadrant as the base. Let's use Calus's Selected as an example since it's 4 separately distinguishable colors. Putting the shader into the [u]top[/u] slot lets you use the [b]white[/b] coloring, but not the gold, black, or purple. Placing it into the [u]bottom[/u] slot lets you use the [b]purple[/b], but not the white, gold, or black. I think you get the pattern by now. That all said, such an idea would probably never be added because it then ruins the point of making more shaders.
