    I'd still like to experiment a bit, but yes, coloring items does change its stats from the base item and can also add class restrictions.

    For example, Felt Halfgloves are usable by all classes, but Red Felt Halfgloves are only usable by DoH.

    And like any other crafting process, when coloring you can start with an HQ base item and very likely not end up with an HQ colored item. ><

    How is that? Because I thought if you used all HQ items, you get an HQ item.

    Nope. Using all HQ items just helps your 'chances'. It doesn't guarantee an HQ. So you have to try to HQ it all over again.

    Geez, really? Isn't the entire purpose of colouring items supposed to be a purely aesthetic option? Adding restrictions (either direct or indirect) based on colour seems to defeat the entire purpose of having different coloured versions of the same item to begin with.
