Default Color Source

[(XBOX)Avant Solace]

This is something that has probably plagued every Fashionframe player at least once. If you like a Warframe/weapon's default colors, you are likely out of luck trying to slap it onto other weapons/skins. When a custom color is selected, it can always be traced back to its original palette node. However if a color is from a Warframe's default skin, then its color node doesn't exist and/or won't get highlighted. As a result players have to approximate the default colors by manually searching through the palettes themselves.

Really this should not be a problem. If a color stems from a skin's default coloring, then that coloring should be highlighted. Even if the color itself is not on a purchased palette, it should still be shown just for posterity sake.

Anyone else take issue with this?

I would assume that the “Copy colours from Warframe” button solves the issue. I own too many colours to find out.

That's not true. If the default color is available, it takes you there. What happens usually is that the default color is NOT available, but there are very close colors that you can use.

A single digit variation in either Red, Green or Blue channels make it a different value. #010000 is not #000000, even if our eyes can't distinguish it.

So if you have the palette from which the color originate from, it will take you to it?

Not from what I can tell. If you copy a Warframe's colors onto a weapon then select the color, it won't redirect you to the color's source unless its a custom selected color.

And also assuming you want to copy colors from your Warframe to something else. There's currently no way to copy colors from something else to your Warframe, or between two somethings else, or from a Warframe (skin) to another Warframe (skin). Even though syandanas can copy attachment colors, they only copy the customized bits and then grab the rest from the Warframe.

And if you don't have it too I believe (but I can't confirm because I own everything in the market). If you have Hydroid (not Prime) it's as easy as easy as selecting any of his body colors, which should take you to Tenno II.
