I did the same, I bought the ice colors thinking that was black, it's just a really dark blue.

Black will be available in a future DLC pack.

 

"The long awaited Black Dye!"

 

Peter Molyneux....is that you? -stare-

 

Seriously though, it depends on what frame you use, on some frames the deep blue color in the Ice pallet and the real dark red in the Fire pallet actually do come real close to black, on other frames the color is lighter.(weird I know?) For now, the greys in the Classic and Saturated are just gonna have to do us black fans. :(

The darkest BLACK (not dark blue or dark red) is available at the bottom of the FIRE color pack. It is currently te darkest true black in the game, with the exception of the dark sword/Ethers hilt's colors, which are unavailable for use elsewhere.

You mean the dark red? :(

[Sibris]

I just went and double checked this. The bottom of the fire pack is GREY, and the one up from the grey is DARK RED. There is no true black in any pallet so far. :(

[CadenFall]

I just bought the color pack and have all colors. I can say with out a doubt that the Fire has true jet black. It isn't the very bottom corner because that is gray it is one or a few up from the very bottom corner. It is very black, like the void of space, it isn't dark blue or dark grey, It's true black and it's already in the game. I use it on all of my frames.

[Zh40]

This is technically black, not gray.  If you're wanting DEEP SPACE VOID BLACK you'll have to deal with the "superdarkred" just above it until they come out with a "Blacks and whites" pack.

Full Greyscale color picker want.

[DeepbloodEclipse]

Full Greyscale color picker want.

A grayscale color pallette seems like the answer.

 

50 shades of gray anyone *wiggles eyebrows*

Technically 90 shades of gray, which is even better!  *wiggle wiggle*

I'm more interested in purple than black. There's dark enough greys in the normal/saturated palletes to pass as black already, but nothing even remotely purple, and after seeing it on the ether swords, do want.

[Crewell]

A lot of games have issue doing a true black because in essence you are programming not to have a color at all when you go for black. Shading and texture become nonexistent. It's probably best to go for the really dark grey in the fire color and remain able to see all the details of your frame while playing instead of a black hard to define shape on the screen.

You lose detail when you have pure black, and a lot of games don't implement it for that reason as well as certain gameplay reasons as well. Players can be hard to see with pure black colors, and that is annoying for teammates.

[Sealgaire]

You can add me to the list of people wondering why you'd want true black, but I guess if some people want to run around looking like a silhouette, that's their business.

Nope, just dark Blue and dark red respectively. All of the darkest colours are still colours, in that they have saturation, currently there are no blacks, the closest being some mid level greys.

I have the same colour pack, the colour you refer to is actually a very dark red, if it looks jet black to you, you may wish to consider adjusting your monitor settings. I also use it on all my frames, as it is the darkest non blue colour available at the moment.

I wanted to color excalibur like the stalker but I couldn't find true black. :'( I guess I'll have to wait, to become the stalker bwahahaha.

Yes, but they only PASS as black, what the people in the thread are asking for is TRUE black or jet black

[Deost]

I'd like Obsidian, Black, Jet, Onyx, whatever you wanna call it. Maybe a monochrome color palette for plat?

[Eurhetemec]

Full Greyscale color picker want.

 

Yep, I'd pay 75 plat for that, no joke.

 

Of course I'd also probably pay for a set of grey-browns.

There are good browns on fire palette. 


I know it, and so does my Rhino. I do like them quite a bit, take a look at them. The lower part of the pallete, right above that silly excuse for black it's got and it's shades of grey.

[AjnaLimikin]

I can see why having a true black might be problematic for programming/rendering purposes, but several weapons, like the Scana and the Lato have true black on them by default, even though it is nowhere on any current color palate. It just doesn't make sense to me to not have it available, especially when players are spending real world money for extra colors.
