Didn't people buy Imperial Helms for the color? A while back the only difference between an Imperial and a GVH was the color. I don't think it seems right to change all Fhelms to the same color as the imperials, Sure you get +3 stats but the color should at least be exclusive to Imperials,due to the cost of them.
I have no idea why they're the same. They shouldn't be but they are..
I agree on a recolor of the Red Fhelm so it's actually red but, it shouldn't be the same red as the Red Imperial(even though 1 person has it,if we make it the same red people will want to change all other Fhelms to they're Imperial helm color, which is what shouldn't happen)
