Color Powerset User Thread

So I was in the CC at Icon, trying to customize my DA scrapper, when I had a thought. I wanna see if we can come up with a thread on color combos that users have found work well. Any thoughts on this? Maybe see what colors work well together with a particular set or sets, or what just clashes in colors. Thanks!

I like using Elec Armor, namely static shield and the tier 9, colored dark and purple, to create some nictus armor.

For Elec Armour light blue and purple looks nice. If you want a sinister or magic-esque look I would advise completely black Elec Armour. It looks pretty sweet.

I colored my Energy Blast a light bluish-green to match my Force Field primary Love the Energy now!

We need everyone posting in this thread.

A light blue looks nice for a soothing Empathy, also matches well with Ice.

All black on the Force Field Generator of Traps will get rid of the giant bubble. I'm guessing this is the same for Force Fields? Invisible bubbles are a neat trick.

Dark blue and Light blue on Fire powers make the fire looks like a Blue Natural Gas Flame, which I did on my Fire/Dev Blaster and my Fire/Fire Tank, I did dark Red Fire to match the /pain secondary on my Corr, and for a more Technological/Energy oriented look I did a very dark blue on my Dark/Dark Def.

Sorry if this breaks the topic, but I just thought I'd show off my Zombie/Thermal's shields. Similar Bright and Dark effects blend well.

Imps using Dark Fire look quite evil in black and red.

If you don't like Blazing Aura's pulsing effect ( my problem with it ), making it black renders it much less noticeable and leaves you with a black aura of sorts about a foot away from you. Sinister looking.

For Earth Control, making the Immobilizes stone or lava and the Hold crystal creates a nice contrast; the crystal is embedded in stone or lava when you use both.

Dark Fire Breath looks like you are breathing some sort of contamination at people.

Dark Blue and white Bright Fire looks awesome on my blaster, ROF looks like falling stars.

My rad/pain dom corrupter now has red and black rad blasts to match the pain dom.

My earth/storm troller also has a tan/brown steamy mist which makes it look like a dust cloud.

I found a cool look for Forcefields, with a little color blend magic.

Bright Forcefields:
Deflection Shield: Green/White
Insulation Shield: Blue/White
Dispersion Bubble: Red/White

Result? When someone is affected by all three bubbles, they get a prism effect where they're inside a white bubble that scintillates all colors of the rainbow. This happens because of two things: The chaotic patterns of each bubble, and the fact that red, blue and green are the base colors in an Additive Blend. So when using red, green and blue in a chaotic triple layered pattern, you get all kinds of mixes, turning the bubble prismatic.

It looks pretty neat, and it's impossible to get a good screenshot of, since the trick only really works when it's in motion. You can switch the colors around at will, so if you prefer at blue or green dispersion bubble, just swap the red/white and for the other pair.

For a gameplay point of view, it also makes it easier to see who's inside the Dispersion Bubble when in a fight. The prismatic ones are, the cyan ones aren't.

I made a fire/electric blaster who's a stage magician in a tuxedo and tophat.

No two powers use the same colors, and they're all sorts of flashy. Green/blue fireball and pink/yellow fire breath I think are my favorites. Perhaps the purple/turquoise rain of fire.

Red and blue Sonic sets.

I set the Energy Melee powers on one of my stalker's costume slots to be a pleasant lime green/aqua sort of combo. I didn't mind the pink pompoms as much as some, but I really like the way it came out.

Pink dark blast looks like cotton candy.

Neon green and hot pink.

For Fiery Aura, Bright Flame colored the darkest possible grey makes pretty good-looking steam.

A SG-mate of mine has a plant/fire dominator. Bright-themed yellow and orange on Spirit Tree make for an interesting looking burning bush.

Brown and gold on the Storm Summoning powers, particularly Gale, Tornado, and Hurricane, makes for a great sandstorm look.

Greenish brown with deep green lava streaks in the Lava theme for Earth powersets makes for a good swamp-themed look.

You can match the default color of hero Electric Blast in Energy Manipulation using the Bright theme using blue and purple. This might be a useful match-up for Electric/energy tanks or brutes, too.

I've seen a pretty good use of deep green and blue-green on Radiation Infection.

I don't know about you, but I like making the powers look like something else. For example, I've been playing with Dark sets (Dark Blast, Dark Armor, Dark Melee, etc., all work).

You can make it in a light or greyish blue to make it look somewhat water-like, or at least mist-like.

I've been trying to get Energy Blast to look like water but nothing actually looks quite right - if anyone finds something, please let me know!

Also with the Dark sets, you can make them light yellow/orange/tan and get a somewhat sand-like look from them.

Also, bright red and bright neon green electric sets look pretty neat.

My favourte is using None on Hide so it just a straight Fade! that is awesome

Doom/Batman in 2012

The Resistance has boobs too, and better hair!

I colored all of my Dark/Rad Defender's powers "Dark" neon green, giving it an awesome effect. The powers retain their bright color, while giving off a black glow. It really has an awesome contrast and looks like it was taken right out of a comic book. Plus it's very fitting to the concept of Ectoplasm I based the character on.

Dark Miasma - Neon Green/Black
Radiation Blast - Dark, Neon Green/Black

Aside from that, I'm very much enjoying the "Lava" option on Stone Armor. Now my Fire/Stone Brute can be the hulking mass of magma I intended him to be from the start!

My only complaint about this is the lack of customization for Patron powers. I dunno what it's like for heroes, but I can't change the colors of my Mu powers...
