I'll admit that I'm a costume novice, and I find myself stuck with 2 base colors and metal accents.

Would three metallic tones count? I don't consider metallic tones to be any less of a color, especially as it's the main color for some, therefore many of my costumes are three.

Chernozem-50 (Ice/MM, Emp/Ice, MA/Regen) - KGB SS8
Wila-50 (Dark/Arch) - KGB SS8
Also: Krassivy Mechtayu-50 (Ill/Rad) - KGB SS8; Ms. Hypatia-50 (Dark/Regen)

What's most amusing is the lack of any sort of link to this *cough* "Awesome" *cough* costume.

What difference does it make? There's only two colors in the whole game anyway:

Grey, and Purple. And technically the purple is just a lightened shade on the purple spectrum.

I found the OP'sawesome costumes in another thread (posted below), but when I tried to count the colors, I got a little confused. One, two, three... ? Nope, I lost it.

Prepare to be amazed!

I like it. I'm impressed.

It's a shame more people couldn't be manipulated into playing along.

Then you agree with me that the 2 color combo is terribly bland.

This is the character that got me thinking about the 3 color combo and it's superiority over the 2 color scheme.

I can no longer even stomach looking at the other costumes in that post. Looking at them makes me physically ill, and I weep at my own mediocrity.

As an admitted novice I made no claim to greatness other than being leaps and bounds above the sheer number of black and red "Heroes".

I think you need to learn to detect sarcasm.

I would rather see a "bland" 2 colour costume than the mess you present with 3+ colours.

I am not sure what is worse:

I really like your Snowman Frost.

But I just don't get the other character in your sig. Like Turbo-Ski, maybe there is a great bio to make up for lack of imagination at name and character generation?

Folks, take it from a professional.

Just pat his head, smile cheerfully, and walk away.

Only way to deal with this kind of lame!

Personally I think it makes op for my "lack" of a creative name and costume. Especially since I recived a ton of tells in game with props of both name, costume and bio.

Today's bit of knowledge: Superhero costumes traditionally use the heraldic method of 2 tinctures(color) and one metal(silver, gold), black and white being used in both fashions.

I suppose you won't be happy without some screens, so have this one and that one and one over there

I like this one.

Purple has been pretty tough to work with.

But you confirm what I thought, that 3 different colors are near impossible to pull off and look tasteful without one being a metallic color.

Have you found yourself trying to incorporate a contrasting 3rd color into all of your designs now? I seem to be overly avert to only using 2 "tinctures".

Here's 3 and 4 colors for your pleasure

Depends on the character, really. I consider the skin and hair colors as part of the design too, so some '3 color' designs are 2 color costumes and hair. Some just look good in two tone and I have a few Monchromes as well.

Its really all about breaking up blank space, either color or textures works.
