Life Nova (Empathy/PSI) will get all colors keyed to her theme of red and white.
Bunny Nova (Claws/Regen) will get orange for her Regen.
Mindfire (Psi/Fire) will have Psi effects matching the fire.
Storm Flower (Plant/Storm) will go full green on her Storm.
Magical Nova (grav/rad) will get grav tinted with yellow, to match her clothes and her rad.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.
Bye-bye green regen! My speedster will now have a unified color scheme to match SS and hasten.
I can see myself overdosing on PURPLE!!!!! 
I have a long, long list of tweaks and changes I want to make, but the first to get an overhaul will be my emp/energy.
First the energy blasts will be made a darker blue or a dark gray, whichever I decide looks best.
Then for empathy - HA and HO colored to match my blasts.
Fort and CM - as invisible as possible to get rid of Glowy Head Syndrome.
Rez - as bright and flashy white as I can get it.
The two RAs - Really bright blue and really bright green so teammates know which just got fired off.
AB - still deciding on that one.

Dawnslayer will have gold lightning and i hope to change Willpower to have the black/red color of Fortification.
Still amazing changes on the way, CoX's come a long way this year. Still got a couple months left in Iraq, but there are so many new toys to play with in CoX... craziness.
Dawnslayer on Virtue.
turning Punch into well...a Punch...
Turning Smashing Haymaker into well..a Smashing haymaker.
Making Jab look different to Boxing.
Seriously whoever named those powers originally should have been smacked with a book about the basics of brawling.

QR, blueish light colored fire for my fire/kin.
jet black electricity for my elec brute.
don't know what I might do with the pink on my fire/psi. Perhaps give different abilities the rainbow effect.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Big bubble will be either PINK or a golden/darkish bronze colour. Friend bubbles will be changed to darker hues.
Regen will be fiddled with so it's not green all the time.
My freaking Electric Blasts/whichever REDSIDE aren't staying RED, that's for sure! They're getting tinted to match my favourite costume.

Not a "good night" for you if you hit me with a pink SB. Unless you like yellow snow.
[u]Existing Characters[u]
Energy/Energy blaster->All white powers in both pools, since she's basically a walking portal to a plane of pure energy.
/Energy Brute->Anything but the Orange Disco Egg Armor she has now. Probably white or blue.
[u]New Characters[u]
Black Ice Blast->Throwing shards of obsidian.
Brown/Green Fire/ Blast->Pollution attacks! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, CAPTAIN PLANET. (I've been waiting on this one for years.)
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
For some reason a lot of my currently-played toons are weapony so there might not be that much to change. Still, my bots/dark MM might have her dark powers changed, although currently I'm already kind of happy with them. I do have a blaster I haven't played in ages called Blackfire Blaster, so I'll have to see what black flame looks like, if it's not just "mostly transparent".
Panda's energy pompoms will probably go to a nice blue, to match her blasts.
I might move a Rad/Rad corruptor to a Rad/Energy blaster, with suitably radiation-colored energy pompoms. Maybe.
Beyond that, probably no one.

DETENTION FIELD WILL BE BRIGHT RED.
That is all.

That's the best idea I've seen. It makes me wonder if Dimension Shift, which makes the foe purple, also has a color around them. I might tint that also, if its possible.
Otherwise, here are some things I may do:
* Make the /Fire powers on my Gravity/Fire Dom white instead of red.
Make the /Psy powers on my Ice/Psy Dom blue instead of pink (to match the ice powers).
* Give all characters with Electric powers a yellow effect (or white in some cases).
* Make all my Fire/Storm controller's /Storm effects RED including Freezing Rain and the Lightning Storm. 
And maybe even the Tornado.
* Make my Fire/Force Field controller's bubbles into a red/orange that matches his fire powers.
* Make my Inv/Fire tanker's Fire powers into an intense white. He is Divine Blade after all!
* Make my Illusion/Rad controller's radiation powers into a white color. I might do the same for my Gravity/Rad.
* Make my Fire/Dark scrapper's Fire effects into a black or purple effect, depending on how it looks.
* Make my Fire/Emp controller's empathy powers red.
* Make my Storm/Psychic defender's Psy powers into a white color.
That should do for starters.

I haven't quite decided yet.
Either:
1) I will make all of my Illusion powers red and match everything else to them (RED FIRE!)
or
2) I will match the Fire and Psy attacks as well as the Rad anchored debuffs and AoEs to the blue shade used by Illusion.
Either way I'm going to need to grind up some influence, because trial and error will cost a lot.

Conceptual wise, my fire blaster is supposed to fire plasma bolts and not actual fire. I'm not entirely sure what the natural colour of plasma would be in this case though. It would be either red, green or blue.
[/ QUOTE ]
Lamps that use plasma for illumination either use trace elements in the gas inside the tube to control the color of the light emitted, or use a phosphor on the inside of the tube wall to convert the emission into a desired color (fluorescent bulbs do this; the actual emission color is blue with lots of UV). The visible appearance of black-body radiation from a hot material goes from red through orange to white and then to blue -- this page has a table showing what the perceived color of a high-temperature black body will be at different temperatures.

Darnit, srmalloy, I get all the way to the end thinking 'nobody's chimed in on the proper color of plasma yet, I get to answer it' and then you go and take my spot. 
Anyway, the first few customizations that came to mind for me were:
electric/energy blaster gets her powersets matched to each other - not sure if the pom-poms will match the electricity, vice-versa, or both changed to some different color, but they'll match.
Ice/stone tanker and cold/ice defender will get their various ice shields tinted to make them as translucent as possible - probably a dark grey, judging by how the colors on auras usually work.
FF/energy defender will get blue-tinted bubbles instead of green tinted ones so that his powers match each other, since they both supposedly come from the same source (or I might change them both to some other color, but not likely).
Every single character with hasten will get it tinted to match their theme/costume/powers better, once that becomes possible. I *hate* that dumb yellow glow, which is the biggest reason I have hasten on so few characters.
Fire/regen scrapper will get orangey-yellow regen glow instead of green.
I might experiment around with white fire powers as sort of a 'holy fire' schtick. I just wish we had a true elemental 'fire shield' option for /shield, in addition to the 'magma shield' type option we have now. (ooh..... now I really wish fire blast was getting proliferated to defenders... empathy/fire defender, tint everything white or goldish, and become an angel! )

This is what it means to be a tank!
Excited but curious how Spines will work. It's "per power", yes?
It could make for an interesting technicolor effect depending on whether they allow us to color the bulk of the common form (the overall spiny exterior) seperate from the projectiles.
Regardless if it is or is not, in cases like running Quills while attacking with Impale and Lung and etc... which color would override for the main skeletal form since the AOE toggle shares that large physical feature with the attacks.
At any rate, I will be beside myself with never-ending joyful squees if we can also choose the color of Spine's poison splatters.
All of my characters who use Psy blast powers or EM. The pink blasts and pink pom poms have to go. Also my Rad/Dark defender might want a darker shade for his Radiation powers.
My spines stalker will get immediate attention as well. I sort of created his original costume based on the look of the spines, so he'll have a lot more freedom now.
Oh and I wonder if there's a way to make Dark Armor look better... Maybe dark blue?
I'm going to make my powers that don't match, match.
Hasten, had better be included with this, cause it's always been an eyesore IMO, to have flaming fists on my Blizzarad summoning ice master guy... or my gravity controller... lots of guys have it that theamaticly shouldn't, and i'm going to work to adjust it to match concepts if i can. (hey, dev's, if your listing to suggestions, hows about a suppress feature, for people like me who'd rather really just turn it off??? maybe an activation FX and an ending FX and no flaming fists?? Please Please??)
Other then match the secondary effects to the primary effects, (most notable on my Sonic/EM blaster and my iLL/Sonic troller..) hasten, and oh yes, chance my brutes lighting to blue, as i utterely hate the red lighting effect, is it.
Ive grown used to everything else... It'd be wired to change it now.
New guys though, heh, who knows what i'll come up with...

If you can't learn to do something well... learn to enjoy doing it poorly...
My Oldest "Main" Eng/Eng Blaster = /Energy Manipulation changed to Blue Finally
(Many other toons with /EM will also get changed to Blue or to match their various Primaries.)
I'll likely change Hasten and SuperSpeed on too many Alts to recall off-hand...
I'm really hopeful there will be a way to 'soften' or 'mute' the intensity of these. I certainly hope there's a way to reduced the 'brightness' or 'luminescence'
I also saw a thread somewhere here about "Will we be able to use Clear as color?" I hope we can at least manage to accomplish something similar, maybe by changing the transparency (or would that be translucency?), somehow...
A plain on fiddling with the Armor/Toggles on my Melee Toons - some of these sets like (iirc) Dark Armor, Electric, Etc.
(Dang, I'll have to look and check to be certain, but some of the Sets armor/toggles tend to heat up my aging video card - to where I get a screen of black/white/pink/green "static". And have shutdown the PC for a couple mins before restarting it.
So I've tuned-down a few of the video settings some and that helped, but the 100+ degree weather and 'heat pump' a/c aren't helping. That, and having to use spare ATX PSU on my desk behind my little (neraly 5 year old) Shuttle XPC - with the power leads/wires threaded thru the hole where the little specialty Shuttle PSU exhaust fan and plug was - don't help the airflow in my poor little SFF PC. (Shuttle doesn't stock that particular PSU anymore, not regularly anyway.)
So, there are a few alts I just can't play unless I'm zoomed in REALLY close - so I can't see my own toggles! *sigh*
I know, I know "sounds like the card is gonna fail...", "get a new 'Puter". But, that's not really an option for me just yet.
And Going Rogue's (hinted at) "graphic improvements" are probably gonna mean I'll need to upgrade anyway. Heck, I couldn't even get to through Character Creation in Aion - before my dang video card overheated.
I still have a /*cringe* "single core" proc, "only"1 gig of (very nice) ram... But yeah, I'll have to start from scratch with a new rig, which is cool. I can use this this one for Firefox, Winamp, Vent (or TS?) and watching DVD's, or whatever.
Just not all of that at the same time!
A new PC is on the horizon for me, But for now... I16 being on the horizon is pretty fraking sweet!
I'm digging all the I16 Info (so far) and as for the OP question (Sorry about the long post, I can't help it.) = The very 1st Color change I'll make is Blue for Energy Manipulation, then I'll take a whack at taming the Speed Power Pool.

Experiment with it on Test once it goes into beta; from the way that Auras operate, anything that's black is completely transparent; for characters that I wanted to have an aura like, say, black tendrils, I needed to pick either the next gray up from black or the darkest purple/blue to get something that showed up.

Gila is gonig to have his regen click powers turned into a dull blood red, *maybe* integration, but that may look terrible.
Adjutant Agilo's inv powers are ALL going from flashy epileptic black, to grey/white, will defenitly play with the new animations on SS
