Why?
If you havent noticed yet, every armor and helmet in the game has a color scheme, though some do have little twists or are applied awardly, or even combined. Those color schemes are the same as the accessory ones. The reason I believe we wont get new Roses is that we have almost all the color schemes.

Red- Weird Toasty
Black- ??? Weird heavy
White- Weird Divine

As you noticed, they all follow the base of their color schemes, but not exactly, which shows that they adapted this system slowly and progressively, or maybe wasnt even intended at all initially.
In second gen, you can notice this system getting more solid

Green- Military
Blue- Cool
Gold- Regal

And in third gen, they fill in the missing gaps

Coral- Fancy
Violet- Dusky

However, all rose sets have an added/grey or brown to make them ... well, be less like the scheme they are representing.

Only Volcanic and Prismatic are missing. God save us from the volc shap-vog coats if they ever realease those...

I also must say that I LOVE this concept, it supports pretty mix and matching... however it takes a while till people notice that in order to match their outfits. I sure hope they will keep following this concept and fix the equipment with heavily distorted or missing schemes (hinthint deadly and normal virulisk, chroma line, ancient, trojan masks, azure... etc.) so they will match even better.

Oh and if you are unsure about it, feel free to ask me about the coloe scheme of an item, I've become able to identify even the weirdest of twists.

Neat

I've kinda been wondering about the rose/personal color/other stuff matchups. I'm colorblind, so I really just have no good grasp of how the equipment visual scheme is supposed to work.

Which is why I basically just wear my white rose set.

White rose has strong divine

White rose has strong divine accents however is not full divine, and while you'd expect it to match divine classified equipment, it happens that it doesnt. :(

Yeah, divine doesn't quite

Yeah, divine doesn't quite work right. Military seems to work well, as does heavy, but nothing is quite right.

Adding this in here...

Dusky is usually a blue-green. Not sure which Dusky item is violet...

Fancy basically goes with Coral, but Volcanic matches with Violet Rose Regalia better.

Some Volcanic stuff is red and black (Lava-themed), but things like Volcanic Vertical Vents, Volcanic Dapper Combos (Therefore Pipes/Mustaches), are all a violet color.

Now Pladypus started a list, I think I will too, but I'll include every equipment available. Should be done in a few hours... ooooorrrrrr days since I'm lazy.

And no, dusky in not blue-green. Dusky is violet-bluegreen.

a list I've posted in

a list I've posted in February

And Regalia doesn't really follow colour schemes as metal parts are always gray in them. Every colour scheme has three colours actually. There are two metal colours and one additional (clothing?) colour. For example:

Regal
metal 1: dark yellow (a bit brownish),
metal 2: light yellow,
clothing: dark purple;

Military
metal 1: green,
metal 2: khaki,
clothing: navy;

Heavy
metal 1: light grey (a bit purplish),
metal 2: dark grey,
clothing: rusty red;

Volcanic:
metal 1: charcoal,
metal 2: red,
clothing: dark violet;

Dusky
metal 1: light grey (a bit greenish),
metal 2: dark grey,
clothing: violet;

and so on...

Justifier combines dusky and fancy and adds a disgusting brown.

Custom Chaps and Tabard in featured AH.

Just make sure there are a primary and secondary to tweak.
And let us do color palette like when starting a character.

He does like to do that. I think it's because he feels he can and nobody bothers to stop him.

Waait.

There are actually three styles remaining - Prismatic, Volcanic and Shadow (Assuming Shadow isn't the Black Rose).
All Rose Regalia gens (Well, the non-featured auction ones at least) had three styles, so there are enough for a new promo...
...
Wait, does this mean... Snarby and Vog Regalia?

Oh Dear...
