Shiny Colors!

Post by Deandra »

I have tried my best to list which colors are shiny, and to provide screenshots that give an idea of what they look like. Please note that most (all?) colors will appear shiny when applied to a naturally shiny material, and some materials will make even a super shiny color look dull.

Dramatically shiny colors:
These colors have dramatic shimmering effects or are very shiny.
Dragonstar Red
Syffim Red
Sigil Orange
Nirncrux Red
Pact Conqueror Red
Daedric Red
Dominion Yellow
Ayleid Gold
Akatosh's Scales Gold
Dominion Conqueror Yellow
Aurora Green
Orichalc Green
Necromancer Blue
Aetherial Blue
Entoloma Blue
Arcane Blue
Covenant Conqueror Blue
Mundus Blue
Superior Blue
Celestial Violet
Voidstone Violet
Clothier Purple (I messed up this file during editing, sorry!)
Nightshade Purple
Undaunted Bronze
Atmoran Bronze
Julianos White
Lamae's White
Warrior's Steel


Somewhat shiny colors:
These colors don't have interesting shimmers, but they are still nicely shiny on some materials (but perhaps not as many as the colors above).
Enchanter Tangerine
Champion Red
Jode Red
Red Diamond Red
Pact Blood Red
Mastic Yellow
Alchemist Bilious
Falinesti Green
Hist Green
Welkynd Blue
Eyevea Blue
Indoril Blue
Epic Violet
Graht-Bark Brown (I think I forgot to get a screenshot of this one and the next)
Pact Vanquisher Brown
Brewer's Ale Brown
Colovian Deep Brown
Cyrodiilic Steel
Nirnroot Gray
Coldharbour Ash Black


Rare colors I don't have yet:
General's Gold, Warlord's Red, Ruby Throne Red, Grand Overlord's Brass, Dwarven Brass, Ophidian Jade, Covenant Blue, Indomitable Violet, Grand Warlord's Violet, Slaughterfish Flesh Pink, Overlord's Purple, Scaled Court Brown, Motif Master Brown, Lycanthrope's Gray, Legate's Black, Adamantine Silver, Palatine's White, Liar's Linen

Woow, some of those rarer ones look incredible. Really like Celestial Violet and Sigil Orange.

I'm a poor teenager who can't afford a permanent membership! Though I did get a card the other day, so I'll be able to play when I'm able to update..

Perhaps this list could be incorporated into the UESP wiki. It is a great resource, and obviously the result of hours of work. Great job!

OK, we're talking about playing virtual dress up here, true, but fashion models can make real money at this.

These pictures really do show up what I hate most about the dye system in ESO, and that's the fact that the same dye looks different on different pieces of armour. It makes it impossible to match colours between different pieces, especially if you wear a mix of armour weights or styles. Entomola Blue is unbelievable - it varies between a dark purple/indigo, a light blue/cyan, and a shiny green!

Ah well. Thanks so much for doing all this work, Deandra!
