Copy Main Colors Button

[Hearthwin]

Am I the only one that wants all my weapons to match my badass Warframe coloring? I like the fact that I can make my Syndana copy my main colors on my Warframe. Would it be really hard to insert a color option for Weapons and Sentinels that simply copies the Warframe set colors? Like I mean it would save like maybe 5-10 minutes of coloring my other S#&$ after I get a good one on my Warframe. Am I just lazy or is this a good idea?

I like the idea. Its tiring having to put the same colors on everything.

Debatable. On the one hand, it could be useful. On the other hand, weapons and sentinels don't tend to have the same order on colors.

 

So, for example, if you wanted gold trim on a purple item, that might work out with purple, purple, gold, gold for a frame, but on most weapons, that would make it a mixture of gold with gold trim, with purple on certain details.

 

There's some unity between extensions and items(as they originally were all the same palette), but that's totally lost when going between frames, or between frames and weapons.

 

It would be very nice if they'd indicate what colors you're currently using on things you're wearing, though, within the palettes themselves.

 

That wouldn't be as fast as 1-button color copy, but it would probably lower the time it takes to get a theme going.

You can always configure the colors after its been set up with the button to fit the theme, if it doesn't quite match.

^^ this because you probably will change up a bit on it anyway

I do wish this would be a feature. Not that it would help me as much as other features needed but, it would help.

Personally: I use very few colors for my themes, and it's rather unified across all of my owned objects. Everything is white with blue trim, unless there's some special occasion. Which shades of blue I use changes a bit between things, but I use the same white all the time, and at least 2 specific shades of blue make it on to every single object I own. I know exactly which colors I'm going to use, and have used, over the course of mr16 worth of frames, sentinels, and weapons.

 

Having a 1-button copy would, in most cases, do nothing. The order of which colors need to go where in order to get the same exact effect changes wildly between things. Just the white is sometimes the first slot, or the first two, or the fourth slot, or the third slot and the first slot... it changes dramatically between everything.

 

So copying it would not help in the slightest. As someone who's painted base colors for all objects, all immortal skins, all of the holiday skins, all of the camo skins, and all of the alternate body costumes, I can definitely assert that it does no good. Yes, I can "always configure the colors after", but that's generally the same as not having the button at all to begin with. Same level of work, or exceedingly close to it. You still have to hunt down what's being used and what's not, and what looks best with a thing. I have it fairly easy, as I have less than 2 dozen colors I use to paint with, and it's still a chore to have to swap two shades of blue or a blue and a white, despite knowing exactly where each shade I want to use is.

 

So it needs a little bit more than just a copy button.

+1 for the idea of an "In Use" colour picker.
