Make True Customizable Armors.

To keep it simple: just like guild cape designs.

Make it so that you can choose the armor style, armor primary color, secondary color, trim style, decoration pattern so on at armor smith.(the colors would be just like pvp colors, no fancy mixed or pure white/black colors, if you want those, use dyes later on)

Full body preview window with zoom feature on the left, selectors on the right, have 5 tabs for different part of the set armor and a button to confirm buy.

I hope I am making sense.

You are going to need to be a little more specific. The only thing you kind of explained was color.

Anyway, the color idea I don't like at all. That is what dyes are for. All it seems to me is a cheap solution to an expensive problem, and that we don't need. Most people I talk with don't used mixed combos in the first place.
