It always looks red in game to me. I'll take screenshots next time I fire it up.
Dragonscale and dragonbone look red to me. Evon the Great's armor certainly isn't blue. (these wiki photos have some weird lighting... that's not what this stuff looks like when I'm walking around Denerim)
That's really not necessary.
I kinda wish we had the option to wear something like this.
Would totally wear that. Oh, and my Inquisitor can borrow it too.
As far as crafting and the color of the armor goes, there is no dye system but they have said you can keep the color of armor reguardless of the material being used, so if you have a black colored armor and want to upgrade it to dragon bone you can keep the black or change it to be the color of dragon bone.
We're hoping we can do something just like that for clothes though.
Or anything with clothes really.
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Something that doesn't concern people as much as you isn't "beyond them."
If you think the people who have responded here represent as much as 25% of BioWare's customers, you probably don't have a solid concept of how large BioWare's audience is, or where they spend their time on the internet.
So you would remove entire features of the game (including one that is expected to generate direct cash flow) that took years to develop at great cost for the sake of a few costumes that you'll only be wearing for a small portion of the game?
Holy Jezebel. Serves me right for writing something terse around here. Crucified in a blink.
(1) How can you say you don't know what something means, and then, in the next breath offer a harsh judgement of it?
A "target audience" is a common marketing concept. A target audience is made up of people with similar interests for a particular "activity".
This is often weighed against creative vision to various degrees.
At some point, decisions have to made where best bang for buck comes in, and what features will offer good return.
So without spelling it all out in detail, "beyond target audience" is a another marketing phrase that could be used IMO.
It isn't intended as you interpret "beyond them". It's beyond their "target audience". Day and night difference.
(2) The people who have responded here are passionate. Me too, though I'm far from a regular poster.
But do the posters here represent the 100% of the bioware player spectrum?
If so, do all player types post in here or even bother reading this thread or for that matter even visit BSN?
Are all the various player types proportionally EVEN represented here at BSN?
How many of the past bioware game buyers/players would REALLY want to endure a little armour/weapon/multiplayer and in exchange get a few more casual outfits.
My guesstimate of 25% is for people who like a "higher degree" of variety/customization across all areas -- including casual outfits.
That guesstimate could be wrong. It is why i used the word guesstimate.
I'd love to be wrong and find out it's actually much higher. 
(3) Lastly, where did i say I would remove these features?
I said "trade". As in I don't value it highly. But I recognize others do and these features help pay for the overall game by attracting more player types. I was just underlining how i personally would choose casual clothes over those 3 specific items, but that i would "trade" them.
As for "small portion" of time? Ummm, i get the impression some memorable character interactions will happen in skyhold.
When I hit Fraps/print screen to capture and comemorate those, how do you think I'll feel wearing that one causal outfit if I like appearance customization?
It ain't a "small issue." 
So am i still on your cruxfiction cross? 
I'm very disappointed with ball outfit. They could desing something nice. It doesn't have to be a wide long dress but with a bit good will I'm sure they would come up with something pretty.
Why not go with full anatomicaly correct characters and save the hastle?

What does that have to do with casual wear? 
Skyhold isn't a nudist colony.
Ugh I hate casual wear like this... There were like 2 okay ones in ME, Hawke's was hideous, and now this...
I hope they'll either add more options in a patch or dlc or make us able to wear armor in the keep. (I'm assuming that we can't choose to wear armor in the keep, I don't think anyone's said we can...)
What does that have to do with casual wear?
Not until everyone starts drinking victory ale at least.
I find this whole concept of a forced casual outfit rather baffling.
On the Normandy it made sense as you were in a climate-controlled environment, and on a military ship where presumably going about armed and armoured would be frowned upon.
It made less sense at the Hawke Estate, as Hawke already wore his normal garb in Gamlen's House. There was even an item you could loot at the Hawke Estate called Finery, which was a statless chestpiece with the exact same model as the forced casual outfit. As this chestpiece overrode the appearance of all other items(with the exception of the helmet), they could have just presented it as an roleplaying option to wear at home if you so wished and called it a day. (Of course what presents a bit of a problem in DA2 is the fact that you can't entirely unequip your weapons at any time, if you do you will be equipped with a extremely low quality default weapon of the same type.)
But at least Hawke's Forced Finery was limited to the cozy indoor milieu of the Estate, whereas the Skyhold is largely open air and located in the Frostback Mountains, complete with glacial waterfalls. From the looks of things it also seems we will be spending quite a bit of time in the Skyhold, it being the hub for the Inquisition and presumably the location for the majority of companion interaction among other things.
I dearly wish they would simply allow us to wear our normal armor at the Skyhold.
The more I think about this the more annoyed I get. I should stop.
The best course of action is to enable the option to wear pc armor in Skyhold. All the armor is completed, animated, and optimized. So literally no work at all. This should fix the problem in the short term .
This would be by far the best and the most realistic solution. What we've already seen, there are all sorts of wonderful trenchcoats, tunics and other non-armour gear available to us in the field. Those sort of outfits are actually better suited for Skyhold wear than the current mandatory casual outfit. Besides, there's nothing wrong with wearing an armour inside a fortress. All my soldiers get to do that, why not me?
Bioware can give us that skin-tight cream-coloured suit too, so those that like it can it wear it. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the reason behind using that casual outfit is to animate complex scenes (such as romantic ones, which may involve removal of clothing) with one standard outfit. In that case, I wish they'd at the very least give us a possibility to dye the casual outfit. A simple recolouring should not cause any clipping issues.
I just realized. This means our throne room judgements will be done...with us sitting on the throne....wearing these pale and ugly pajamas,.....
all your prisonner will just look at u and wish you'd execute them its so dang ugly
So here is a fun idea, if you could have any outfit as casual outfit/ballroom dress, what would you use.

I still think that just letting us recolor the causal attire would make it look much better so long as we can make the pants and shirts different colors if we wanted too, it might not work if the whole thing got changed to a color you pick maybe a slider or dyes or whatever for the top half and the same for the bottom half?
I wonder if we will see BloodDragon armor in inquisition like the other games had.
If I could, some nice customized armor with the colors I choose. My rogue is also going to be the very paranoid type, so her walking around everywhere armed and armored makes sense.
