I've noticed since launch that the metal parts of armor look awkwardly 'white' in low lighting (like when standing in shadows or semi-illuminated indoors places) I'll include screenshots because I can't really describe it:

Metal reflects normally in sunlight:

And finally the reflection of minimal light (or lack thereof) in a dark area is also realistic:

Also I acknowledge that this may be related to my graphics settings so here they are:

Looks like metal armor color to me?

Well yes metal would look like that under the appropriate circumstances, not when standing in a shadow though as the first screenshot, in low lighting it should appear dim as the rest of the armor does. It seems this happens in semi-lit environments, because when you look at the third screenshot you can barely see the metal due to the lack of light.

The rendering needed to solve metallic sheen would slow the game to unplayable, I suspect. The reflections on the metal suit my picture is wearing (in second life) were painted on and look very real until you notice they don't move at all in the environment lighting. 3D is still in it's infancy. Hope you can work it out with your card, tho

Thanks at least I've got an idea on what it is now. I'm surprised more people didn't report this, the issue is quite noticeable during the Templar quest.

When you enter the tavern-looking place before encountering the Lord Seeker it's quite obvious and noticeable on Barris' armor as well as the generic Templar fighting the Red Templars inside since 90% of their armor is metal. Not only that but it's also on Barris' shield which gets a funny looking magenta-white hue.
