And if that is an issue then maybe they can release the 3D colours but have a thread that tells you which items can't be recoloured. So if you buy a 3D color that doesn't work with your item it's your fault for not checking. I understand many people will probably miss this thread so there could be a banner up top just saying '3D items can now be colored (but not all! click for details).'

We will be able to download a blank (or the original texture) and make new with using it

But in all seriousness, how hard could it be to whip up a template? They're big boys; they can do it. And if It is too hard to make templates for some of the more intricate items, then just make those have they ability to change color.

In my opinion, there are only a few 3D items that actually should have their colors able to be changed.
"What color are you going to make that new duckbill you have?"
"I'm gonna make it radioactive."

Even if there are different colored items, I don't believe that they should have the ability to be crafted. I mean that as in, if you buy a pair of headphones, you shouldn't be able to change the color of them to whatever you want. Instead they should be bought as a color and stay that color. I buy a pair of pure headphones, they stay pure. I sell the headphones to someone, the headphones stay pure. This will cause large demand for the more desirable colors. Hell we can even have achievements linked to the items. Like, own all colors of shutter shades.

When activating the 3D colour item, it just overlays a colour onto the texture.
