The Look of Custom Stone

I just wanted to know how folks feel about the options in custom stone/lava costumes? Somehow, to me, they all look like something between pumicite and poo. There seems to be no way to create the same craggy edged look of rock and lava seems to look either reddish-pink to yellowy-orange. I really want to make a magma-type character, but the options just make him seem....yucky.

What bothers me most about it is the same thing that bothers me about ice.
the limited colors

yes i know we're lucky to have any customization at all but i'd love to be able to have the full spread of colors and not just the ones they deem appropriate to use.

I have a Lava Control/Warmth 'troller and I'm very happy with how Lava looks using a red-orange color.

Custom lava I was meh about but the stone options I really like. On my stone melee brute I managed to get his rock hammer to what I think has a mossy look on it. Though I agree I wish they gave us all colors and not the ones deemed appropiate.

Or even this, texture-wise

At least for stone, there's a wider range of colors than what they gave, particularly for the crystal inclusions. Unfortunately, for some of the best visual effects, it would be necessary not only to change the colors of the powers, but their textures, which cranks the requirements for Power Customization up toward impracticality.

I'm holding out for customisable GA. Lava GA ftw.

the colored stone controller powers work great for looking like coral
