It would be along the lines of someone becoming pope, then decided they wanted to change all the clothes to neon green. (Though I doubt popes use the exact same clothes, in FFs case, artifact armor is the exact clothing used by the person)
Those are all reasons why it would perhaps be in poor taste to dye something, not reasons why it would be impossible. Keeping players from doing something just because most people wouldn't has always struck me as really weak. We're adventurers. We're out here saving the effing world. We're exceptional. If anybody gets to do the things most people wouldn't, it's us, because we're not most people.
