First, look at this great Dust 514 fan art from the Dust 514 art contest: http://hughebdy.deviantart.com/art/Dust-514-364728479 , see all these awesome gunfire colors? Now go play Dust, all you will see is yellow flying around, and the occasional blue-green of a laser rifles. Its both an aesthetic issue, and a minor game design issue; gunfire and muzzle flash color should let you know what sorts of weapons you're dealing with.
Plasma
AR: yellow
Plasma cannon: yellow
Shotgun: yellow
Projectiles
SMG: orange
HMG: yellow
Lasers
Scrambler pistol: yellow
Scrambler rifle: yellow
Laser rifle: boring white with a blue-green hue around the edge of the beam.
Railguns
Forge gun: blue
Sniper rifle: blue
Yellow: 6 (overwhelming victory)
Blue: 2
blue-green: 1
Orange: 1
The Caldari magsec SMG and rail rifle will likely add more blue on the battlefield (judging from other Caldari railgun weapons).
The SMG, HMG (and probably the upcoming Minmatar combat rifle's rifle) will need to have more reddish muzzle flash to make their fire more visually unique compared to plasma weapons in my opinion.These are not the main problem.
The main problem is the scrambler weapons and the plasma weapons having the same color. I propose making laser weapons (scrambler pistol, scrambler rifle, and laser rifle) all fire blue-green like the laser rifle. Charge-shots from regular scrambler rifles could be red or even purple, it would look great.
These are not that important, but they are certainly easy to do. |

What we need is ammo types
Its not a matter of "correct" or not, its a matter of visual variety, and being able to tell a scrambler shot from AR just by the color. |

The other option is to change the plasma fire color and muzzle flash. |

Perhaps purplish blue
Still rather change scramblers to a more interesting color to contrast. |

Yeah, didn't sound that enouraging. Seems lack of the lack of color variety is on purpose to prevent a "fireworks show". Their response seemed like "maybe" to me. |

Still bothers me. Would like laser to have the same color as the shot fired n this Dust 514 concept art: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a-cG-sM-QN0/TyLeMeKS78I/AAAAAAAAB-I/ZKmstSYcnpo/s640/5787973737_b4b1144fd5_b.jpg |

If they let us use multiple ammo types further down the line, I suspect those might have different colors as well. As for missiles, they'll probably be metallic for the body, maybe with some factional paint, and the rocket exhaust would also be factional colored.
I don't see why race should determine every color. The guns are already colored according to racial colors, coloring the shots according to racial colors as well seems too much. Furthermore, loooooook, I want that on my scrambler.

I even mounted every one of them to a destroyer for giggles to shoot a rainbow wave. It makes for a great light show. Considering how cool it is there, I was a bit disappointing with the feedback note suggesting that more color would be "bad". It's striking in particular for Amarr because their ships are very uniform in color, so it provides a certain contrasting color-scheme: I liked this.This is amusing, though not practical for a single weapon in Dust.Woo.The variety adds to the game I think.
Great screenshots. Given the variety of laser colors in EVE, their anti-color anti-fun response is baffling.
