To implement the color change for items wouldn't be that difficult, the coding is already in place, it would require a small change to remove that you have to buy the item, which is why I suggested the small fee, that would require the least amount of change to the backend.

My other request would be to make items stackable, which Altica mentioned--I mentioned it in my hangout, it's a visual thing for me; only showing the color options that you bought. I think this would be especially handy when making a dream avatar in the DAC, instead of seeing the Abby Headribbons 17 times in each color, for example, you'd see it once with clicking on it showing you the colors it came in, like when you'd buy it in Bananarama.

It shouldn't be too hard to implement stackable items since the coding is already implemented in the shops, what might be a challenge is only showing the colors available that have been bought in the users wardrobe, but perhaps even that could be modified to make the other colors linked to the shop so if you wanted a different color that you didn't have, you wouldn't be forced to leave your wardrobe and find it in the shop, you could buy it right there in your wardrobe (or something) but that feature would only be available after you bought at least one color of that item.

I do think that stacking your commons would be a wonderful idea if it could be implemented. But again, commons is supposed to be a food sink and we've only JUST gotten out of a huge inflation problems so... I'm not on board with taking out so much of the food sink.

EDIT: I don't think this is quite item request so here... when you're having colour votes for black in the future, if you're planning on having them, could we have some options with coloured highlights, like violet/yellow? I would love to see some blacks with burgundy or maybe purple highlights instead of the usual grey. Like velvet or something.
