Smaragdine Weapon base colours

I think the Smaragdine Weapons are the first time I've seen an Extreme Crafted weapon and thought "this isn't just forgettable/not my taste, this is just bad and wrong". In phase 2 of the fight, Emerald Weapon turns golden, like Gaius did in Praetorium so give them a golden glow, great. But why are the weapons themselves still green? It clashes horribly with the effect colour and doesn't match what they're trying to base the effect on.

I believe in this case the developers should patch the crafted weapons to be a different colour to the base totem weapons. Make the weapon models themselves the same colour as Emerald Weapon in phase 2. (or just let us dye crafted trial weapons)

Some of them are hit or miss, but I love the GNB and DRK weapons. Everyone's got their preferences. There has never been a crafted Extreme weapon that changes color entirely. The only extreme weapons that change almost entirely are the Shiva and Leviathan weapons back in ARR (roughly 10 years ago), and even that is just one shade of ice/water to another with extra particles. The glows have complemented weapons with varying degrees of intensity, and without overpowering them, since. Not really sure why you thought these would be any different.

Definitely a personal differences thing. I like them as is.
