Replaces the HEV Mark V suit?

@ChickenChucker96 Okay, so. I did try changing the hues and saturation values and surprisingly I actually enjoyed how it looked. Plus, I made the gloves black now too, so it looks just look retail. So thanks a lot for the suggestion, it opened my view on it.

This feels wrong to look but it's also really really cool. always wanted more weathered looking textures for the retail HEV

@ChickenChucker96 Hey, thanks for the feedback man! Although I do think you're right in many aspect, I must say I am satisfied with the way the colors look.

While I was working on this edit within photoshop I used the retail material as a direct side-to-side reference, to figure out and find the correct hues and values, and you'll notice that the color is actually pretty damn close to the vanilla counterpart.

What I think is happening to your eyes is that the juxtaposition between the original desaturated and darker tones of the beta materials are clashing with the bright and satured tones of the retail colors. Giving you the impression that the contrast is way off. Which you'd be entirely correct having that opinion, but I personally love this look.

And that's why it'll be better for it to stay this way too: To differentiate itself from the original red variant, otherwise the hues will just look way too similar and lose interest.

I think the orange is a little too intense, I think it should be a little less saturated and bright.

YESSSSS
