Some comparisons on Human Fine Plate armor. Here are the tint values you are seeing in the image:
Fine Plate / Bronze / Crafted
Deepwater / Tolans / Paineel Steel
Rubicite / Valorium / Blood Ember
I really like how the Rubicite contrast looks, a bit on the fence with the Tolans / Blood Ember, but the accents look pretty sweet on it. I think it even breaks up the horrible Deepwater armor look.
In each quadrant the left most shows P99 standard tinting (overall), the middle shows just the colored ornamentation cropped out, the right shows colored ornamentation + black chain bits cropped out. I like the middle view best.
Judge for yourselves!
