Fashion colors are random, yes

LadyTsuki - Harshlands · April 2011

Okay I get that the colors of Fashion from the boutique are supposed to be random. I get that, I understand that. But why is it that anytime I buy fashion I get some shade of green, and it's normally a funky shade of green, like lime green or spring green.

Why is that? Does the Boutique just hate me or something.

so you'll buy pigments to dye them > insta-cash > PWE happy

conspiracy theory: somebody at PWE has done a little bit of data mining, and found out which colors of fashion are most commonly dyed away from, then weighted the random-number generator to produce a surfeit of those in order to stimulate pigment sales.

i have, of course, no evidence for this and am merely speculating. but i COULD see this company doing such a thing, yes.

i could even see them weighting the random dyes to be more likely to produce the less wanted shades, come to that.

You probably get more disappointed about the ugly green colors and are able to remember them more.

Either that or people attribute a larger section of the color space to "green" than other colors.... this chart kinda backs that up.. http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/satfaces_map_1024.png

Actually black or really close to it, is quite common.. That is one wanted shade

I've gotten quite a few off white/ off black items, a beautiful shade of blue for my 10 hours fashion, etc. They have some nice random colors. I think you've just had a bit of bad luck.

It's actually the same for me. And it's not that I just remember the green more, I just get it seven times out of ten. Same when I use random pigments, odds are it will turn out green. Luckily I like green or I probably would have been very irritated by now.

Jeremied - Sanctuary · April 2011

I remember a thread where someone did a study, something based on your individual character ID giving you better luck with fashion colors, packs, etc.

Said person almost always got some indigo shade on her one character, and puke green on her other one. <_< Could be true?

__ian__ - Heavens Tear · April 2011

Well i spent 36k in DQ points for random pigment so far i got a hot pink on my shirt, then got a lime green and now stuck with a powder pink lol. Tried to dye my pants and ended up with another hot pink finally gave up and dyed the pants black. So if you think the game hates you at least you didn't end up looking like an 80's disco reject b:laugh

I always get green from Boutique to, i doubt its all random.

Normally you get some sort of lime green 80's shade that doesn't really match with anything.
Another shade of green you get is that pale one, that looks a bit like puke or old dirty dishwater.

I first though it was because there where more shades of green available than lets say shades of red or blue for example. But you dont get that much green when you use random dye really, than you tend to get different shades of black instead.

I think the conspiracy theory is the best explanation, they give you mostly green colors to stimulate pigment sale.

I have gotten lucky with a blue and pink pirate set before and a dark blue lolipop dress with turquiose shoes.

I actually got lucky with the Aegean Dress being a pale green that it actually looks good. So maybe it is more so that my luck with fashion just sucks xDDD

I seem to recall reading in a separate thread that this was (partially) tied to a character's choice of eye-color. Little too lazy to go look up the thread atm, but it's as plausible as anything else I suppose.
(Keph's eyes are a dark purplish-gray, and purple was most often the kind of fashion he'd end up with).

My character's eyes are white. b:chuckle

FoxRunning - Heavens Tear · April 2011

yes, it does seem to be somehow connected to the colour choices made in the creation of the character, especially eye colour. its not a 100% of the time kind of deal, that if you make a blue eyed character, you will always have blue clothes, but it seems to be a high percentage of the time you will have clothes in the general colour family as your eye colour. just the other day, i bought shinobi gloves and boots, and they were in the exact same colour as almost all my other clothes, a kind of bluish purple. but by the same token, my archer has eyes as blue as can be, but her gloves came out a bright pink! when my daughter wants new clothes, she asks my husband to buy them, because they usually come out a nice blue.

like i said, it isnt solidly figured out, it just seems to work out this way.

TekkOneStylz - Harshlands · April 2011

its rigged i tell ya >.< . this whole green thing has happend to me too much to be coincidence. Ok this is my story:

so i made this bm not long ago and because im a man wh0r3 for fashion i spent some money on game to buy some. I bought a jacket and pants... bought the jacket first and it came out a light watered out green.. bought the pants next and it came out a slightly brighter watered out green! ( for the record i hate green ). I wasnt raging though cause i thought well at least it matches until i ''waste'' more money on buying black pigments when they decide to do that sale again -_- ....

Now check this out , this one is wut made me really mad. Ok so i have a sin also which i had bought fashion for also. when i bought the shirt and the pants they werent matching so i had some DP and i thought id spend it on random pigments so i wouldnt have to look like a circus clown anymore. now my pants needed 6 pigments, and my shirt 9.. but because i wanted to ''match'' -_- they double it... so i needed 30 pigments. so i dyed it the first time and it came out a sorta peach tan colour..... I looked naked ladies and gentlemen... I cant be fighting things looking naked i dont care how much stealth a sin has... so i had to dye it again .. and wut colour do i get? lime green! (rage) .. i was now out of DP so i had to stick with that for a couple months bringing the story to todays date where i finally had enough DP to try again so i can release myself of this lime green colour . So i dyed it and o-m-g the colour i get is....... a slightly lighter shade of lime green !b:angry tell me thats not the most rigged thing ever ! >.< riiiiiggggggeeedd

I always get green. Like... 90% of the time at least. And the only char I have with green eyes is my assassin, made only a couple days ago.

I just buy from the AH now.

Nyuchama - Archosaur · April 2011

I got light green, grey or (really really really) light purple, and ugly dark purple ><
And when I try my luck I always get citrine shards that I can't even use yet

(Though I keep them, will come useful later) or mirage celestones (I sell them, my genies stamina is full and my aerocraft's acceleration is full) and perfect stones which I ignore.
I've seen people with 300+ mirage celestones before b:shocked
I am sort of lucky, but not much.

EDIT: My character has red hair, red eyes, red lipstick and orange eyeshadow o_o I haven't gotten ANYTHING red or orange

Rawrgh - Raging Tide · April 2011

I've always been very lucky when buying fashion items from the event boutique (and like, once, from the the regular boutique)

I think they only time I've gotten a bad color on something I bought from the event boutique is this morning when I bought spring biker pants and got some puke yellow color. But then I got 5 random dyes drom DQ points and dyed it and got black.

Although I've had terrible luck with fashion given out from an event, like the natural celestial fashion or the 2nd year anniversary set.

Fashion colors are random, yes
