Sorry if I was unclear. I meant to restate what we already know to get a targeted response.

It was said a long, long time ago (and I can't really be bothered to dig through posts to find the link) that with the ColorID system, they're shooting for allowing players to dye any gear (that can be dyed) up to 28 or 32 colors I think it was.
I would really love to see at least 10+ options at launch for dye and all gear dyeable to all colors available (besides AF). It really sucks seeing people wearing the exact same thing.
Indeed, I'd like to be fully outfitted in purple cobalt and look like Grimace.

It was certainly Yoshida's intent...

This is it. I remember that post too and it was a LOOOOOONG time ago.
Pretty much the only thing stopping you from making purple armor now is how the game handles colors as entirely different pieces of gear. Once colors become essentially Armor X with Color applied, it's just adding an easy pallet swap for each piece that takes like 0 time at all/ can most likely be automated.
