@Toho is that the Syn dye system a real difficult thing to do on a avi site. Not that I am suggesting it here or anything I just always wonder about the different elements in avi sites.

Well, yes and no.

The way we do common items (bazillion color variations) works in essentially the same way as the Syn dyes. Main difference being that we don't typically recolor all layers of it, which is an advantage in my opinion. All layers of Syn items are dyable in the collectible items, which is neat but also limiting. Someone (cho, I think) gave me an item that has a whole background scene on it, but it is limited in what it looks like due to it all being one or two colors at a time.

We go with a more curated approach for colors, because it makes it easier to set up things that match. Neither approach is inherently better, really, but they are not compatible.
