Applied Colorization of Energized Emanations
I expect to see a number of yellow Ice Tanks. It will still be considered Ice, of course.
O.o
I hadn't. . . actually considered that beforehand.
Isn't Ice Armor a Defense based set? I guess it's the villains not wanting to touch the tank, now.
Ice isn't on brutes because it hampers Fury buildup... but anyways...
Yellow Ice Corruptor. Brings a new meaning to 'Corruption'.
Yellow Ice Storm.
That's enough. I'm ashamed of myself. But not that much.

I never liked Cold Corruptors and their costume-concealing ice armor.
Ugh. That's just nasty. Coating your teammates in yellow ice?

Cotton Candy Melee/Armor/Blast/Manipulation (Pink "Dark" powersets) are about as far as I've gotten.
Admittedly I'm wondering how well a blueish Radiation Emission would pass for Water Manipulation though (the trouble being Rad's toggles aren't "just" green, so we'll have to see how that affects the multiple-color style of some powers).
FF/Energy defenders can now be green and less subtle about who they are a homage too.

I am now sensing the rapid approach of an entire SG of colored Ice powersets.
They would be called...
The Incredible Snowcone Legue!
Hmmm....... What does this mean for Masterminds? Can I make my bots green?
Can I color them individually?
Can I make my bots look like an American Flag? PATRIOT BOTS!
As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd stay away.

Fire Blast / (Yellow Ice) Storm Corruptor.
Hmmm.
Does "It Burns When IP" fit in the name generator?
Well, I'm certainly switching my Ice Armor to white. So much nicer. And my blaster's fire shield epic is gonna be blue or green or dark red instead, because tinted fire is SPIFFY!
Hrm. Interesting arr pea alterations from color customization, eh?
I wish I had some good ideas, but I suppose they'll come in time. They always do.
Sooo. . .
We have cotton candy defense/offense, Pee ice, and water-manipulation, and a bunch of people tinting their colors to something more interesting?
O.o I'll be honest, I expected a little more.

Well, it's hard to make serious plans based on two pictures. Me? I'm going to see if I can manage something close to invisible.

I suppose that is a good point. I did think that 'X would look like Y if only I could tint it' would be more prevalent. Rad would make a good swarm-control tinted black. Gravity makes good 'Energy field control' if you tint it blue.
hm, can my fire blaster tint their fire green? demonic fire? pink or red zombies on my MM? i kinda like this...
The big one I can think of right now is making the pompoms of doom blue so that my energy/energy blaster doesn't look like she has two vastly different sets of powers when its all energy.
So many of my characters have things about them that were determined by the visuals of the powers (ie, one of mine has blue eyes, when she uses her psi ability they go purplish as psi is a pink/fuschia tone) that changing the powers color would affect too much.
From the perspective on new alts, I can say the future ability to recolor the Dark sets to a deep red actually tempts me for the first time to make a vampire or other blood based character. I can see a lot of white empathy being used for angelic divine power. I can also see an abundance of 'sith' with black electricity >.< Black with storm however would make for neat insect swarm effects.

Sorry the nerd in me is screaming. Technically the lightning would be red.
I'm not stoked. This isn't terribly a source I would use except for maybe fire sets since blue fire is hotter than yellow-ish red.
Otherwise so wait, we're not going to see dual pistols and what ever that chick was in the video? Nor play Stalkers on Blue Side (or at least new zones available only to blue side characters)?
If there is an option to tone down to almost invisible, I might be able to play regen again . I wonder if we will be able to change the colouring of buffs on other people, that could lead to some truly eye searing colour clashes
If you can recolor Ice Armor into Ruby or Emerald Armor I might give it a go finally. I might even try out Cold Domination on a Defender if you can recolor the ally shields.
I've always liked blue flame - especially as it ties into Wilhelm Reich's orgone energy. Works well for a /Thermal Controller, for example. Electric blue Radiation Emission would look cool too.
I've got a couple of Sonic Resonance characters. I'll probably keep one orange (controls molecular density), make the other one pale blue (applies a telepathic analgesic to numb pain), or at least something a bit more subtle.
My Dark/Rad Defender controls light and darkness. Maybe make her blasts yellower or even white.
My Sonic/Mental/Force Blaster, who's blasts are all RP'd as psychic attacks may get a matching pink Sonic Blast and PFF.
The vague ripply effect of Super Reflexes recoloured to be more obviously a Force Field could look good.
About the only things I'm considering at the moment is turning all of my Bot/Storm's bots energy blasts yellow (My mighty Weatherbots shall finally have their sun-guns!), and my Psi/Men's Psi-Blasts red (A proud, Soviet color).
[FOLLOWING THREAD CONTAINS BASELESS SPECULATION]
Now, I'm assuming that most people that will read this are board regulars who will already heard of this shocking development. Regardless of your feelings on the matter, although I assume that virtue being the wretched haven of scum and roleplayers that it is you will all be overjoyed with the opportunities of tinting your powers. . .
Several comments in that thread, such as mistaking the purple fire imps for 'Nictus Imps' and the consideration of tinting Dark Armor a deep yellow for 'Bee Armor', got me considering the possible RP uses of the altered colorization of our standard powers. I am curious as to what others have or are able to come up with.
However, setting the ground rules to a sort of minimum we have seen seems prudent. What sort of optical trickery can you achieve with only color-tinting, should that be 'all' we receive, without things like changing animations or mastermind pets?
For a simple example.
Dark Blast/Radiation Corruptor. Tint the blasts and the Radiation muck brown or black. You can RP your smoggy blasts as Pollution Control, and embark on your new career as a Captain Planet villain.
tl;dr
What sets do you intend to RP repurpose after giving them a color-tinting paint-job?
