I wish that you could revise the color scheme on the armor to not be dependent on what crafting materials you're using. I want to use dragon webbing... I just don't want to have to look at that orange color.
I am sure I cannot be the only person on these forums (regardless of what class you play as) that wishes the color of their preferred armor wasn't decided based on the type of crafting material they use.
Agreed, though i want that webbing colour for the cloth part on the warrior armour. I hope they let us choose our colour scheme, cause sure nevaritte might have excellent stats i refuse to wear pink.
Yeah hot pink dragon scales are all the rage in Orlais.
Dragon Webbing is not the worst. Ever made an armor out of plaid weave?
OMG i forgot that **** plaidweave is terrible.
Oh god! The plaidweave is just...a disaster. I cringed just looking at the preview of it on my Mage. He mind as well be the Court Jester wearing that kind of pattern.
Why couldn't they just implement dyes or something? Like a Dye shop, or hunt for the materials required to make that color? There are some colors I like, but I can't use because I don't have the required amount, so I'm forced to use an ugly one. Or that Dragon webbing. Great armor, not so great color. :S
I agree. It was a poor choice to link the color to the armor value piece for the armor. They should have had a separate place for the color only.
It's realistic. The problem is the scheme not the idea.
I understand your point and respect your opinion, but I tend to disagree fundamentally with the "it's realistic" argument. I am playing a game with dragons, elves, dwarfs, and qunari. Realism isn't what I'm here for.
I think most gamers that play RPGs really enjoy the customization aspect of their characters. By tying the color of your gear to what material you craft with, you hamstring the gamer into having to choose between visual preference and in-game performance.
I think the vast majority would agree that we'd much rather have more customization options and pick what material effects and what color we use over realism.
Most of my team has pink armor although Blackwall has a turquoise shield. 
We need a dye kit.
You can override parts of the color with the masterwork slot, although that's not entirely helpful either. I selected materials for a silver heavy armor and the masterwork material would have changed it to pink...

I think realism varies. In actual reality, the materials wouldn't give anywhere near the range you see (especially leather). But it's a good (fake) realism.
I'm all for, say, having a system of dyes that lets you change colour. But I like materials "feeling" real by being tied to a colour scheme.
I think a dye system is a good solution to this problem as well and based on the posts others seem to agree with you.
Example: Superior Battlemage Armor with Dragon Webbing = orange... I go out and collect resources or purchase a dark green dye from a vendor and boom... I dye that orange to a more preferable hunter green (or insert your color of choice here).
I still get the max protection of crafting with dragon based materials but I'm not forced to endure a color that makes my inquisitor look... well.. silly IMHO.
You know, Blackwall and Iron Bull have some banter that relates to this. Not spoilering this since it doesn't reveal anything earth shattering.
Hopefully a BioWare staffer might catch a glimpse of this thread and if enough people in unison voice their opinion for a dye system or some form of customization when it comes to colors on armor and weapons... we might be able to get some input on if change is possible in the future. 
Thanks for all the replies to this topic. It's nice to see that I am not the only one that wishes there was some sort of dye system (or something like it) in place to edit the colors of our armor.
I thought it was pretty creative that the armour changes with the different materials, but with alot of aspects in the game it feels like they came up with an idea an just ran with it almost rushed? Didn't take into consideration the types of players that enjoy the little things like colours of armour.
P.s. The dye pack idea would have been great even as a stack..
P.S.S. I personally don't want to be running around DAI with bright pink armour or bright yellow that looks like the 60's ambushed the game

I usually run as a mage and I like mage armor that stacks my mage relevant stats. So Draggon Webbing for example is an important one for me.
Dragon Webbing produces this (IMHO) hideous orange color that hurts my eyes to look at. It I want a better color, I have to sacrifice stats. That is why a dye system would be awesome!
