Question Title: Colors of wearable items don't match...
Category: Graphics
Question: The colors seem to be one thing on the icons, but are something entirely different when you put them on. For example, "black" studded leather greaves register as brown on the paperdoll, and "Blue" bascinets show up as a bright red, among other items. Wha? 0_o;;;;

Answer: For colored clothing, armor and some other items, we have 8 icon colors. We have many more actual colors, so we try to match the color to the closest available icon color.

Sometimes the color matches better than others.
