I was REALLY excited to be able to finally have military green/olive drab armor again, but they screwed it up and it looks too vibrant to seem like a military color. The darkest one is also like medium brightness, not dark.
“But that’s Master Chief’s color, you’re not supposed to have it.”
It’s not his color, it’s the generic color that the vast majority of UNSC armor (vehicle and soldier) uses. Master Chief just likes default things, which is why he always had default Mark IV, V, and VI armor with a default olive drab color.
I also kinda miss the preset emblem color schemes because they had some colors that you now can’t replicate.
And people are still complaining about colours… Look, I want Master Chief’s colour too to match my Mark V armour, but you don’t see me complaining about it do you?
I dont remember anywhere and lore where it said the Chief likes “default things.” The colors are fine. There are plenty of dark colors to choose from. (heck we finally got an actual Black) Stop complaining and enjoy the game. Color shouldnt matter that much anyway since most of the time your on a team with a set color.

I was going to say this is a strange thing to be upset about, considering the new variety covers any material portion of the color wheel, then I saw your other popular gripe thread and it all made perfect sense.
“But I want PANTONE 16-1448! 343 hates the community!”

Until firefight, we’re basically stuck to free for all to see color anyway, so I agree with this. There is more than what we originally had, so I am fine with it

If the guy wants a darker green, why do you have to heckle him about it? 343i still can’t give us a true Sage or Olive, but oh, because they gave us true Black, we must stop criticizing them. 343i are not an amateur studio, they know how to make games and they know how to color. Stop shilling for them. They don’t need you to defend them.
There are only two issues I have with the new colors:
We still don’t have a dark shade of violet: only a couple of slightly-less neon shades of purple. And yes, there is actually a difference between purple and violet.
The 5 shades of grey (in order): Almost White, Almost Almost White, Very Light Grey, Medium Grey, and Black. Why is Steel so light now? And why are the first three colors almost identical? I appreciate that we have a White, Grey, and Black, but the fact that we have two Very Light Greys instead of a Light Grey and a Dark Grey is odd.

I agree with this^ about the yellow. It just doesn’t look right. I also see why they got had to get rid of Teal. I’m glad that we have an actual black now though, and I’m really loving Blueberry.
I wish moss matched its color box a bit more ( a dark slightly blackened olive drab.) Plus we lost teal (which would’ve made a nice column) and some armor still have really dark secondary patches.
But I would say the new colors are overall an improvement. The solid black is great.

My complaint isn’t anywhere near that specific, and I don’t say lame stuff like “343 hates the community because I didn’t get exactly what I want”. Your strawman argument only shows your immaturity.
All I’m saying is that it was worthless to add in a sage column when it isn’t anything like the shade of sage that made people ask for it in the first place. They finally did something to address the color issue and they botched one of the most requested aspects of it. People like me are very disappointed because we know this kind of update was rare in the first place, and we’ll likely never see another color update.
