This is an interesting idea. Would be even better if he were an Engi (is he?). Maybe try more harmonious dyes?

he is an engi, I have been trying to find a blue for the trim that is less of a pop and more of a blend but I am not very big in using the same dies for entire sections of clothing... to me it feels like a bit of a cop out

I also liked the idea of using the same color for (for lack of better terms) the arc reactor as I did for the crystal portions of the scarlet armor, I feel like if it were a whole piece they would be inter woven some how

I like the overall idea, I´d suggest some minor changes for the finish:
1. Change the pants. Three pieces of one armour set look repetitive and you can easily change the pants without changing the overall feel.
2. Try to get one cohesive blue colour. I like the strong light blue on shoulders and gloves, either get that to the coat as well or change the blue to a neutral tone light brown or grey.
3. Try to match up the metal of gloves/shoulders and boots. I personally like the Aqua Tint you used

If you want a blue that matches the red a bit more, try Starry Night, or one of the other deep-dark blues. Or you can simply change your entire color scheme to match the crystals (if they're not dyeable).

This look has the possibility of being truly epic ... I think maybe swapping out the pants or boots (although i like the boots) would be good ... and I agree that the dyes need to mesh better ... What are you using for weapons? can you find some inspiration through their colors?

I just swapped the pants out and tried a darker color for the trim, but I have always like the red as a contrast to the rest of the blue, not sure though I might try changing it to a different color blue to see if it would look different, more pics to follow in a minute

I see you have different pistols, but they don't seen to have similar themes. I think you should pick one of the pistol skins and try to match the colors of the the gear it. (I personally would take Glyphic for the technology theme)

yea I was just being lazy with wasting a transmutation charge, I tend to keep a Glyphic dual pistol but I have just been putting off using another charge for a bit (trying to build back up a small stock of them)

You can buy glyphic pistol skins for Badges of Honor on WvW (Along with many other "low tier cultural" skins). No transmutation charges needed.
