    Forager's set color/materials discrepancy (suggestion)

    Hello, I noticed that the Forager's set has some small details that look off, at least to me, I took a screenshot of different Dyed versions plus the orginal colors on the far right.



    First, the pants use gold as the material for the metal decorations, while the rest, body+gloves use silver, It would be nice if they both used the same base materials so they match in color.

    Second, if you look at the original colors (undyed, on the far right) you see how the leg has the brown knee pads that match nicely with the arm sleeve protectors. Once dyed, these knee pads change color according to your dye color, but the arm protectors stay the same brown color. It would be nice if either the arm protectors also dyed the same way the knee pads dye, or make it so the knee pads do not change color when the pants are dyed.

    Third and last observation. it is regarding the shoes, on the original set the shoes match the bits of brown leather on the red belt, these small parts do not change color when the body piece is dyed, which makes the shoes color/tone look off when you dye the outfit, while this is a small detail that can be easily changed by using darker dye for the shoes, it would be nice if the shoes base/texture matched the red part of the belt, which means, once both pieces are dyed (body and shoes) the belt will always match the shoes.

    These ideas are simply to make the set look more like a "set", by matching metals and materials used I believe it will look better.

    Just a small suggestion.

    Hope this doesn't sound mean but I think you are missing the forest for the trees here. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of pieces of gear that if the dyeable parts were altered they would look better, but this doesn't seem to be one of them; especially because you are using the entire set and not just a piece here or there. The outfit needs to be looked at as a whole, and not just does this one part of this piece match this other part of this piece. Think of it as how you dress yorself, you don't not wear a certain shirt because a part of it doesn't match your pants, you wear it because the shirt as a whole matches.

    That being said I do think you are right about the metallic accents they should be consistant. Even in real life no one mixes silver and gold.
