Request: Different leather colors.
Request Type: General Addition
Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
I think that simply more colors of leather would bring more life to all of westeros. Below in the historical evidence part is an explanation of different colors and why they are different, though in the middle ages the color difference would come from the different materials used for tanning. I suggest a lighter brown, a darker brown, mahogany, black (or a darker shade of the one we use) and purple for much richer areas such as hg or Lannisport and Casterly Rock.

Historical Evidence
Canonical Evidence
Waymar Royce, Ramsay, Victarion Greyjoy and Joffrey own black leather clothes
The Thenns use black leather shields
Edwyn Frey owns a grey leather jerkin
Kevan Lannister gives Joffrey a red leather saddle as a wedding gift.
Roose Bolton owns a quilted tunic of blood red leather.
Barristan Selmy (and presumably the rest of the kingsguard) wear belts of white leather
The grip of Loras' sword is white leather
Salladhor Saan and Val own white leather boots
Mors Umber wears a white leather eyepatch
Daario Naharis owns purple leather boots
This is just to show that other leather colors do exist in westeros, and that westeroscraft would be better, if only slightly, with more colors of leather.
