343 Please add a darker black color

Something I really want on MCC specifically on Halo 3 is for 343 to add a darker black color, I know its possible for them to do it, I just really want it, its gonna add more customizations to our Spartans, so please consider this. My Spartan in Halo 3 is gonna look better with a darker black rather than a steel color. if possible also ad a brighter white color to Halo Reach too please :slight_smile: Who else agrees?

Yeah sure. I don’t play 3 but I’d love it for Reach, both a darker black and a brighter white.

Interesting idea, I know some people who’d use it.

Personally I am against it. While ordinarily I am all for more player choice, particularly when it comes to character customisation, my fear is that if one colour is particularly less visible than the others, it might present a tactical advantage. Or it could be perceived as such, leading more players to select it, ironically culminating in a scenario where greater customisation actually makes more players look the same.

I am not staunchly against it. I would like more colour options and combinations to be added. In this specific instance, however, I lean towards a ā€˜no’.

Black is always going to be less visible than other colors and yet many players choose different colors in games that have black available as an option.

I don’t see why not. It’s not like they would need to make the color, as it already exists in infection.

If they make it an unlock option as a challenge, then i don’t care. But giving it to everyone ā€œjust becauseā€ is a no in my book.

Oh definitely. Like I said, it’s not some grand affront to my sensibilities. It’s not a hill I’ll die on. If others want it and 343 are prepared to do it, that’s fine.

Just my personal preference.

What if they add a color wheel with a hue and saturation meter…

Yeah I want black in H3 as Black and Red is my go to colours, and as I always find H3 matches the most, it’s a little annoying

What is this? You don’t like the upcoming, revolutionary coating system?

Get a hold of this guy/girl. Wanting to use his/hers favorite colors. /s

My main colors are Black and Blue in all Halo games, but the darkest primary color for H3 is steel and it doesn’t combine to my other Spartans on Reach and above that actually look black and blue. On Halo 3 it looks more like a charcoal grey and blue

As I said earlier it’s more of a personal preference cause my H3 spartan doesn’t look like my other Spartans from Reach and above, as the black color in other games are pretty dark but the darkest color in H3 is more of a charcoal grey and it doesn’t con on par as my other Spartans. About the brighter white in Reach is cause I’ve also heard people saying the same thing but for white in Reach

I also use Black and Blue for every game, and would love to see a proper black color.

While they’re at it - add a darker red too?

Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4 all have Black as a selectable color for Custom Games under the ā€œAppearance > Forced Colorā€ tab, it’d be nice to have it as a selectable color through the armor customization system.

Well my Spartan is black and blue in H5, as I haven’t unlocked anything else as I can’t find an online match :l

Yeah, new colors would be great, I’ve never been a fan of grey being the darkest selectable color in Halo 3 (and I think Reach too) while black is only usable in Infection gametypes to identify Zombies.

I would also like a darker Black. I use Black and Red for every game

If you go back to halo reach Xbox 360, the darker colours were far darker than ā€œsteelā€ is on MCC.

frankly I just want to recreate my old reach character.
it’s also very hard to get any tactical edge from the Spartans colour scheme. Some maps have a lot of white. Very few maps are dark.
