My first saber pack may have just been released very recently, and an updated version just earlier today, but I'm already working on my second one!
This time, I'd like some opinions on some of the new sabers.

Let's start off with some silvery colors, inspired by viridian.
Silvery Blue (a better name would be nice. suggestions?), compared with regular blue:

Silvery Blue compared with silver:

Silvery Yellow (again, name suggestions?), compared with regular yellow:

Silvery Purple (name again?), next to purple:

And Silvery Red, next to red:

I'm fairly pleased with all of these, personally.

Now, on to the brighter colors!

A new color called Cerulean, which uses Shem's alternate blue texture, compared with Mantle of the Force (Mantle is actually on top this time, the new one's on the bottom):

This one I'm calling Indigo, I think I used Shem's alternate purple texture, or I may have made a new one, I can't recall. Anyway, it's on top, with purple on the bottom:

Another purple varient, here's Magenta on top, with purple on the bottom:

I also made a silvery varient of Magenta, that I'm currently calling Pink, although it's not quite as "pink" as I had expected (purple's on the bottom again):

Now for the one's I'm thinking I will probably omit...

First up is Amber, which ended up looking almost exactly like yellow! Amber's on top, yellow's below:

Up next is Lime Green, which is barely distinguishable from regular green. Lime's on top:

And last of this group is something that was spawned when I asked my brother to make one... I call it Puke. It's being compared to yellow, which is on the bottom:

And the last crystal I have to show you isn't exactly a crystal. In Star Wars Galaxies, you are able to use a Krayt Dragon pearl as a color crystal, and it has some power crystal aspects to it as well. It has a "pearly white" color to the blade. It's been far too long since I've played that game, and I can't remember exactly how it looks, and I couldn't find any pictures on google, but here's my best guess:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/Crixler/KotOR/saberpack2wip/t-kraytb-silv.jpg)
That's silver on the bottom.
I'm not sure if I'm going to finish this one. I would think it should be possible to do, just make it so the pearl works similar to Heart of the Guardian or Mantle of the Force, so it modifies all the other crystals. Then I guess I would have to make it so you can't use it as a regular power crystal anymore. I like the idea, but it sounds complicated. If there's enough interest, however, I could give it shot.

So anyway, what's everyone's thoughts on the new colors? The pearl? Did I miss anyone's favorite color? Etc.

Edit:

I tweaked the Amber and Lime textures a bit. I'm now content with the Amber color, but the Lime still seems to close to green. I'm afraid to add too much more yellow because then it could end up looking too similar to Bastila's. But here are the new screenshots:

Amber2 on top, yellow on bottom:

Lime2 on top, green on bottom:

Also, I've come up with some possible names for some of the new colors:

Silvery Blue - Glaucous
Silvery Purple - Mauve
Silvery Red - Puce
Silvery Yellow - Icterine

Lime Green - Harlequin
Puke - Aureolin

Some of these sound rather exotic, but since the inspiration for the colors of the silvery ones was viridian, I decided to take inspiration from it's name as well.

YEAH.........You're addicted to saber crystals....Might I suggest waiting about a week or two and releasing EVERY saber type you have together, instead of releasing a whole bunch?

That would probably be a good idea, but I already had the first pack sitting around for a while, so it was already done. This one was more of an afterthought that I started afterward.
