Which Armor Pieces Can You Change The Color of?

Layered and High Rank Armor

You can only change the color pigments of your High Rank Armor and Layered Armor. This means that you cannot change the color pigments of your Low Rank Armor.

Should you have a Low Rank Armor that you want to use as Layered Armor, you will need to craft its HIgh Rank equivalent. Afterward, you can then freely use it as Layered Armor.

Colored Parts Will Vary Per Armor

Some Parts Cant Change Color

It's important to note that the parts of an armor that will change color is different from armor to armor, with some parts of the armor not changing color at all.

For example, Pigment 1 of the female Gore Magala armor will change the color of the web pattern inside the armor, while Pigment 2 will change the color of the carapace parts of the armor. The hairy parts of the armor will not change color no matter what.
