Multiple colorable areas when dying items (Discussion)

As we know, GW1 has either dyable or non-dyable items. Some armors and their elite versions for example mainly differ in minor purfled structures and their colorable areas. (For example necromancer Fanatic and Cultist armor.)

Suggestion: Give items in GW2 multiple colorable areas. Many armors in GW1 have black areas that cannot be dyed for example. These could also be made colorable with an additional option that allows to choose which parts to dye in the color preview. (e.g. regarding the cultist armor, one could either choose to dye the "regular" regions, the black metal parts, or the clasps)

Why this is a good idea

• Better personal adjustment to prefered appearance.
• More variety in (character) appearance.

Why it may not work out

• Buying different dyes for each area in your armor? I don't think it's so affordable...
