heh, thats a great thought...
on the other extreme - meh shields are PINK! So all the tough guys are stuck with pink ice around them! Most dont mind, but once in a bit you'll get a chat comment like.... You've gotta be Kidding me! hahahahah
trying to get them as translucent as possible is a very practical thought also.... less distracting colors onscreen and possibly less work for the videocard
My SG-mate, coalition member, and global friend recently commented on my color scheme for ice shields. My friend said I have the most unoffensive colors for ice shields they have seen. I was surprised by this, so I am sharing it here. I don't know if this should go in another forum, but the shields are on my defender so what the heck.
Under custom colorization for both ice shield and glacial shield, my primary color, starting from the upper left corner is the fourth circle down on the far left side greyish/green color (to me) and the secondary color is the circle next to it, fourth circle down second from the left. I found that no matter how 'grey' I tried to make a white color it didn't quite get as translucent looking as I would like.
