Oh my Gooood you are so ridiculous you're still missing the point.

DYES SHOULD BE FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES ONLY. THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS ARGUMENT. What are you even TALKING about? You're so turned around you're arguing for something that's completely POINTLESS. Of course a red haub won't resemble a red robe.

haubs and robes NEVER RESEMBLED ONE ANOTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Haubs for example never gave huge chunks of MP while simultaneously giving you +INT.

HOWEVER. A red robe and a green robe should resemble one another with their stats as they ARE the same piece of armour, they are just different COLOURS. The stats shouldn't change just because the colour of the item changed. NOT WITHIN THE SAME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

THAT'S WHAT MATERIA IS FOR NOW.
