The Battle of the Century I: Blue? Purple? Blurple? Aquamarine?

[Calintzpso]

I'm bored, tired, trying desperately to play my leech job in this stellar abyssea party for my alt account, and this came up in party chat.

I figure we all need a break from all the rage and anger over those Bayld Reive changes and Enmity adjustments that SE is working hard(ly) to get fixed for us in a (un)timely matter.

Armada Hauberk

Is it Blue? Purple? Blurple? or is it Aquamarine?!

Yep, part I of the most wondered questions turned all our WAR among players in Vana'diel is that blast from the past...What color is that Armada!

What do you think it is?

Any color you can think of that's relative to blue/purple will be accepted.

In the end, I'd like to see maybe a call in from the Dev's about what this dang things color is. Two different color scanners from two different Photoshop plugins give me different readings!

I'm calling it Crayola's Ocean Blue Pearl!

[Kyrial]

Dark blue.

[aviance]

No, it wasn't Aquamarine, that's a sort of greenish turquoise color, it was called ULTRAmarine, according to the JPs.

[Mirage]

Blurple.

I always assumed they were the crystallized remains of your opponents souls.

What do the keepers of the Codex Astartes have to do with anything?

[Kojo]

Adaberk is Blue.

What about Naglering. What the heck is it made of? Scarletite?

We need a Scarletite Harberk.

Now another, what are Rune weapons and Apoc/Mandau made of?

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

It's clearly grellow.

[Demon6324236]

Gold, I would think.

[Alhanelem]

Honestly it depends on how your monitor is calibrated and your vision. :p If I had to go with a traditional color-word, I'd say blue.

[Calintzpso]

Whiteknight strikes again!

[Limecat]

Looks indigo to me.

[Kojo]

Gold, I would think.

They aren't as bright as gold, we have two sets made of gold. The Rune weapons look like brass, but we also have brass weapons. And I doubt a Relic weapon would be made of brass. A dev should join this thread and answer our silly little questions.
