Larian already has the ability to recolor, tint & add patterns (I'm thinking of how +X leather, leather helms, hunter/rogue armors, buff spells, and dirt are handled), it just isn't available to the player.
Please make it available.
One of the things I enjoy in RPGs is customizing how my characters look, and gear is part of that. I don't need to be showered with 5 pieces of rare armor every half hour if I know that Tav & Team don't have to look the same way until the next big improvement. (I'm thinking of how DA:I for example had very little diversity in what your companions' gear could look like (ugh!), but if you used different materials, that would be reflected in the final colors & patterns. Not great, but still an upgrade over seeing the same thing, over and over again)
