    I wonder if it's possible (or, rather, if it's too hard on technical level) to implement just normal free color palette, the one you usually have in editing programms like Photoshop and such. Dyes for clothes in game can still stay as they are, but having a full freedom with colors in chracter creator would be nice. Though skin tones probably would stay out of this, since they are predetermined by race and tribe you choose. /think

    I always wonder about this. It would be cool to have an RGB mixer pallette. I am sure there is a technical reason such as limitations and such. I mean even BDO is really limited in colors. I want to say FFXIV actually has a bit more choice in the number of colours for hair and skin compared to BDO online. The only thing BDO has extra is the slider for sheen of and something else.

    DCUO has 24bit RBG color selectors for everything. You can enter hex values to get the exact color you want. Probably the hard part is in changing one system for another.

    Reasons they might not want do it is fear that people would do things too far outside their design aesthetic; Or maybe that such an interface would be confusing or too technical for some players.

    Personally I'd be for it, for anything but skin. (which wasn't part of the original suggestion anyway) The designers obviously have specific ideas of what they consider natural for the various races they created. I wouldn't mind more options though.
