When I originally created Sir Samuel Vines (extra points to you if you get the reference!), I wanted to make a Sylvari with coloration that looked interesting but not completely alien. I chose red "hair" and a neutral "skin" tone.
When choosing armor colors, I matched them to the character's skin and hair to create a smooth look that blended well. My aim was to create an illusion that the armor is not outer garments but is simply a part of the character.
For weapons, I originally used Lionguard cultural, but I've been moving toward Zojja's since the advent of Ascended crafting. Zojja's weapons are not exactly the right color red (in most lightings, you can't even really tell), but they make up for it with Berzerker stats and that beautiful gold inlay,
Head - Hidden
Shoulders - Warden (T2 cultural)
Torso - Warden
Hands - Warden
Legs - Warden
Feet - Warden
Handsome and well-made. My only gripe is that the armor is all from one set, but despite that, I think you make up for it with a striking combination of colors and weapon choice.
