How to make the symbols on the back of your shiny new cloaks look like they do in the sourcebooks!
These are just the colours to make the symbols look right. Any colour options omitted can be changed freely and won't affect the look of the symbol, just the rest of the cloak, such as the main background.
What're the Helm colors? I've been told anything from red/silver red/gray gray/silver... I can't figure out who's correct.

I got all the colour numbers up there from the demo mod that comes with the new cloak models. The existing Deity Cloaks (Torm/Helm/Cyric) weren't part of that so there's nothing to go on as to what to set the Cloak colours too to make those symbols look right. But going from eye I'd suggest Leather2:79 (Blue Steel) is a pretty close match for Helm.

Second & Third ed Faiths & Pantheons: Spotless, shining full plate of armour Openfaced helms (often with plumes) Red cloaks Steel-grey tabards All of the above can be emblazoned with the eye
So red/silver/grey, which means what you were told was right Also, in the south you can add gold into the mix.
Edit: Derryn de'Drenise has a very nice outfit to look at.

Something else you might not be aware of is that Ilmater, Malar, and Gruumsh cloaks have the tattered appearance, with the Cloth2 part set to 61(Chrome) to give the ragged part transparency. So if you want a tattered cloak for your barbarian or somesuch, you can always set your cloak to one of those and hide the symbol by setting it the same colour as the background. Theyre pretty neat. Conversely if you want a non tattered cloak of those deities just set the cloth 2 part to the same colour as the background.
I threw in some colours for ye olde cloaks. This is done for now, until the crafting menu gets updated and the 3 missing ones get an appearance number. Can stick it wherever. I'd also suggest maybe putting a note in the Cloak Crafting Menu IG that there's help with the colours available on the forum. Cos we all know what happens to stickies.
Leather 1 should be 23, darkest grey in my oppinion. That way it turns solid black, like his symbol. 22 dark grey does not, it just turns it dark grey which makes it look off. The other colours match fine, however... In my oppinion gold, or in this case "mustard" really does not fit at all. Sure, if only the crown turned gold it would be fine, but not when the whole outlining of the cloak also turns gold. It's almost as bad as a Velsharan wearing red or any other bright colour.
But that is only my oppinion and I can't stop people from using other colours on their cloaks. (Unfortunatly.)

Red knights colours are incorrect.
The Red Knight is red and white. The knight piece is red, probably 91 (I think), while the background is the lightest shade of grey, closest to white. It doesn't matter if the bastard non-existant saladrans stole the colour with their non-existant stuff. Those are infact the Red Knight colours.

The background is also white. So you have a red knight, and a white surrounding. Its meant to resemble the chessboard you see. I believe the diety guide thingy states her emblem colour as red and white. I'm at school so I can't check.
Also on a purely asthetic note, the crimson red 91 looks much better.

But the thread says "Diety Cloak Colour Guide". I assumed it was the full diety colours for a cloak. Just saying that as such, the colours for Red Knight, according to the wee book thing, are red and white.
Sorry, its a bit misleading.
