Fire armor: How you color it, so it looks good?

My main is a MA/FA scrapper (weird combo, I know). Blaze mastery, Pyronic judgement, reactive interface... She is a ninja with fire powers.
But I just cant stand the fire armor FX. I tried with bright, dark, fire, flames options... Everything looks like crap. Even with omega or bio plasma auras to mix it, but I want to see my character with little flames around.
Also it have to go well with Blaze mastery fireball and fireblast.
Any suggestion? How do you color it?

I hear you. For me, Plasma Shield made the armor look wrong.

Wht I do now is I use the original colors BUT I change Plasma Shield to Dark Flames, and instead of using the original color, I use a dark red color instead..to find it, go to the Black circle, it is the color on the far left, go down one circle, then over one circle...that is my chosen color to replace Plasma Shield. I love the way the colors intermingle especially while jumping.

Hope this helps bit.

Thank you Lisa, Im gonna try it.
To me Blazing aura is the ugliest power of the set. To the point Im thinking about leave it out the build in next respec. Its awesome but too ugly.
I will try to hide plasma shield a bit.
Why the devs make the auras so damn noticeable? With so many toogles, buffs, etc running at same time is ugly combination for our characters.

I have to use SuppressCloseFX when I'm playing my /FA Brute, because the pulsing on Blazing Aura make me feel sick after a few minutes. I've tried recolouring it in various ways, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make the effect muted enough not to make me queasy.

On my /fire brute, when I don't want the flames to be too visible, I set them to Bright Fire and choose the darkest, deepest (saturated) pure-blue color. Choosing a "pure" color like red or blue tends to work best, as these colors will only add up to more red or blue in additive ("bright") mode. That is to say, if you choose an orange or a cyan or some other mixed color, when they all start adding together, they'll move towards a bright, blinding white.
