The translucency effect of powers does not stack. The system uses the highest value from the various effects on you. Hide and most (all?) Invisibility powers give something like 75 or 80% translucency. The only 100% translucency power I know of is Cloak of Darkness in Dark Armor. Translucency also suppresses when stealth does, so you need a non-suppressing stealth if you want your costume always hidden - Cloaking Device for Blasters and Banes, Energy Cloak for Energy Aura Brutes or Cloak of Darkness for Dark Armor Tanks, Scrappers and Brutes.
Since Dark Armor fits both categories, would your concept still work with Dark Armor tinted red or orange, and a fiery costume aura added? Auras don't get affected by Translucency.
@Roderick
ah, ok. And nope dark wouldn't work 
.
While typing the suggestion thread linked in my Sig about testing toggle-graphics stacking I thought of something to try out; 7 colors in the rainbow, 3 fire armor toggles with a primary and secondary, I used the main 6 on this concept toon on beta and ran them at once, and my idea worked, and looks kinda amazing....a character surrounded by white flames, with different colors of the rainbow "peeking" out from the edges at various points. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple can all be picked out showing with all the toggles running

I always thought that was just a NPH quote. Then again, I've never heard of that character before either.
@Roderick
I just came up with a nice character idea that I tested on beta; a fire armor toon with the character defined by the color of her fire toggles, not her costume. Since it's beta and everything's free I threw in stealth and invis just to see how the toggles looked while invisible....it's pretty awesome.
I know for a melee character most people would say Invisibility is pointless, and the OAS factor is incredibly limiting for an AT that is usually survivable.
So; I was wondering if the opacity factor from the Stealth power would stack with a runspeed stealth proc to make her just as invisible looking as if Invisibility was running, or maybe even more so than that? (I know the stealth range will stack, my question is the actually opacity level of the character to the player's eyes)
