Hello all
I just wasted a couple hours of my wednesday to make this. I realized how long it takes to look through all shaders and decided to find a way to make it WAY faster. With this sheet, that is.
This tool works by assigning each shader 2 of its most common colors. The most common color (primary) is across the top of the sheet, and secondary color is down the side. Lets say you want a shader that is mostly red with a bit of blue. First, you would find the "red" column, then find the "blue" row and where they intersect. That square contains all the shaders that fit that description. Say, Devil in the Details. Use the second sheet and find the name in the leftmost column. The row tells you where to find the shader in the collections>flair>shaders section. Devil in the Details is in Activities, 1 A 3. In activites, page 1, leftmost column (ABC), row 3rd from the top. Preview it, and see if its what youre looking for. As a side note, any shader with ([color]) after it, is a trinary shader, which instead of having a "strong" color and a "weak" color, may have one "strong" color and two "weak" colors. Examples of this include many of the white/grey shaders like iron mossbone, which has a significant amount of gold, rather than just being 95% white and grey.
Theres a few problems with this though. The first one is that destiny color palettes are not at all simple. you pick a shader with the icon containing reds and whites, and when you preview it, your chestplate is green, even though there wasnt any green in the icon. This can lead to some inconsistencies with the tool. I have a feeling that the way bungie made shaders, is by assigning colors to materials, rather than general colors. For example, all metals on a character should be x, all fabrics should be y, and all fabric accents should be z. Each armor piece should also have different rotations of colors, so not every armor has a primary color, and the primary and secondary colors are swapped. This would result in many different armors revealing otherwise invisible colors that show up randomly out of the icon.
So if you try a shader, and it has vastly different colors than you see its supposed to have on the sheet, don't hesitate to comment so I can go back and update it. If you look at the bottom of the first sheet, you will see that there are some shaders not on the list. These are shaders I couldn't place because the color mixes were confusing, (like purple/green/brown) or the colors changed vastly with different armors. Ill go back and place those where they should go eventually and update the sheet.
Happy coloring!

Well done and keep up the good Work!

Ignore the troublemakers that claim that we would remove this. We always appreciate helpful work in our Community. My phone doesn't show full lists sometimes on Google Docs, but I wonder where you pulled the Shader list from and if it's complete? The amount of Shaders people have can vastly differ due to Eververse or Vaulted Activities. My Collection in the game says I have collected 300/307 Shaders.

Thank you!! Well done and extremely useful.
-
A+ name lmao love the classics
-
What the actual....! How dare you spend your time on something as useful as a QOL improvement. Bungie were probably stuck trying to monetise such a feature and you ruined it for them. ;) Time not wasted at all Guardian, well done and an easy upvote.
-
Fanbase: Hey bingie, fix your shaders colors pls Bingie: .... ifarted69: Fine, i ll do it myself Thanks dude s2
-
If only you worked at bungie. Sheesh
-
You've done in the span of say TWO HOURS? What's taken bungie nearly SEVEN YEARS to accomplish. Which is why when people say "I'd like to see the community do better." they DO.
-
2 hours to achieve what Bungie couldn't do in years...LMAO!
-
-
I'm speechless. Thank you.
-
Thanks man, amazing effort :)
-
Always nice to see creative tools from the community like this. Nice job!
-
You sir, are awesome for this. Here is your 🏆. Keep your speech under 2 minutes please. Exit stage left when you're done.

Doing Bungie's job for them.

Thank you!!!! Now if Bungo had a way for us to sort and favorite our shaders too, that would be awesome.
-
I have just one suggestion: Could you change the font color of the yellow squares, because it's kinda hard to read white on yellow
-
This is useful to me since I always have to wear a shader anytime I don't get a raid exotic. My team chooses it. I'm at 23 no vex runs lol

*slams the hand on the table with satisfaction [b]THANK YOU[/b]

How long till this person gets banned from the game?

mods prolly will think this is against TOS and stack three bans on you for literally no reason
