If you wish to suggest coloring, I'll give any1 that comes up with a decent looking colorscheme that does not turn
the outfit into that of a clown 5g ingame. Upload it on the site here, with the colors of course, and post a link below.

I've been trying to figure out an interesting look for a light-armored norn for
quite a while now. Somehow most armors look off or unflattering upon the
norn physique. Last weekend I finally came up with something that,- in my
opinion,- looks pretty decent. unfortunately with aetherblade bottom comes
with a massive color-balance-limit so I finally settled for more of a Gothic flair.
And with the boots balancing out the furr on the top, this time only the
shoulders proved a little challenging to find.

Anyways the title 'Sinéad' is a song from Within Temptation.

Would like it with a bit more details color-wise. But thetop piece works well with the dress!

@ DioHard. If you dye the bottom Aetherblade it comes out in 3 different shades and as I said in the description that makes it practically impossible to balance it out with other pieces when it comes to colors. Feel free to try it though, I'd love to see someone succeed! Hell I'd pay gold for it of someone manages

You say impossible, I say a challange!

Even if it is indeed impossible, there's nothing wrong with having the skirt all black, but you could put some detail colours on the chest, gloves, boots. I see fur, that doesn't have to be all black.

@Zorby. As I said: By all means, go ahead, if you manage I'll give you 5g!
Also, the furr on the top also colors on the rest of the top and (feel free to call it ocd, but...) I do not like that.
Frankly and personally I think the tinsy specks of blue are all the colors she needs.

@General.
What is the issue everyone seems to have with women toons and black... Or monotome coloring in general,
things don't have to look like a rainbow all the time just cause they got a *cat* X3 just imagine a bifrost in there ^0^

It's not a problem with female characters in black, it's not a problem with black exclusively, It's not really a problem at all, you're free to dye your character precisely as you wish to. But! Just a bit of colour variation can lift an outfit so much over something that's all drenched in the same dye (or very close colours). But if you like your outfit like this, then you should keep it that way. No one can tell you what you like, we can merely put forth suggestions :) And I didn't mean you should go full rainbow either :p Monotone colour can work, but it's really hard to pull off. It's a shame I have neither the Aether skirt nor Shadow Abyss dye. I would've liked to give it a try, but I don't feel like spending that gold on it, and it's going to be very cumbersome doing it with previews (I can do it piece by piece, but I won't see the whole). And on a final note, and maybe I should've said this in my first comment, I still think this looks good. It's not like I didn't like it, I just thought maybe you could get just a little bit extra out of it!
