That's a very interesting feature. Nice catch.
"It's hard for you to be yourself, if you don't know who you really are."
Holy $*#%.
We can edit the colors on NPCs now in the MA?!
Wait... *smacks self* The title only says AVs

With Issue 15, you can edit colors of any (most?) standard mobs, including AVs, bosses, minions, etc. This feature will be nice to add mobs to custom groups without increasing the file size of the arc by a large amount.
This was one of the best update in MA i have seen so far....(excluding what came in issue 14 of course :P )
And it saves to a file as a custom character. Some creatures have more options than others.
For instance a quarry has few, but modifying the primary and secondary colors on them changes most of the body. Screenshots are on the way.
Disappointed.
Just tried clicking the button on a 5th Column generic soldier, and I crashed to my desktop.

And here they are:
Colormaiden
Hro gets a makeover
I wish stone tankers could do this.
The colorwolf
Got it working 
What's up with Ice Mistral's pants? I did some color editing and got this: http://i44.tinypic.com/2cx6s74.png

That Quarry looks like some AimBot hack gone awry.

You try not changing your pants for three years, and see if they don't come out a little stained.

Tell that to my Warshade, still wearing the purple Maliase pants and he refuses to change 'em.

I had hoped that someone would figure out my dastardly color-scheme.
I am so happy to have this feature.
Now if only they'll let me use NPC costumes on player costumes...

This will likely never happen.
Too many clipping issues to deal with.
That said, I want NPC costume parts for my player costumes too
Save City of Heroes!
Yeah this is beyond great... who cares if AE is still messed up! atleast I can make the wolves in my arc yellow!!! Yeah baby way to keep your eye on the ball!!!
YELLOW WOLVES FTW!!!
It's better to save the Mystery, than surrender to the secret...
can we edit the individual NPC names yet?
I want a malta titan robot, but i want to change the name in my custom critters group. THAT would be awesome.

Eh, a little clipping hurt nobody. Besides, plenty of our current costume parts can clip pretty bad (For example, High Collar capes + Most shoulder pads). Something tells me most people would be happy to have them regardless of the clipping issues.
I think the big issue though is that Jay would have to edit most of said parts so they could all be colorable and used by Male, Female and Huge body types (with certain exceptions of course), and that would probably take a great amount of time.

I think you can if I'm not mistaken.
Confirmed. You do it in the same way you tint the NPC, it's just the last step in the edit process.
Yay!

If they had to do it Soldier of Arachnos style and not let you mix in certain parts, or even all of them, I'd still like it as long as we can change the face and hair.
There are some parts I know we should be able to use and are generic enough that I'm not really sure why we can't. I'm talking about stuff like these Council pants
Yay, we get to color code the farm mobs by order of phat loots and XP!
Thank you so much Devs for letting us edit the colors on the standard models now. It has made my dreams of having an all pink'n'green Rikti Contingent come to life.
A billion thank you's, even if you can't edit a lot of the secondary colors.
