I do know that the quafe and officer laser rifle have the same coloured beam (purple) but i would like to have different colours on the base variants. How about this:
MLT= yellow
STD= green (as we have now)
ADV= blue
PRO= red
Would be a neat feature and you can actually tell how dangerous the wielders laser is. Nothing big but im sure you could tweak this via a hotfix. Maybe do aswell something similar to the scrambler rifle shots. Those are little things but people love details.
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

It's true. People love this kind of thing. Dunno how difficult it would be...

NO! Lasers colors should be for range. Different wavelengths = different colors = different range.
It provides tactical information about the weapon's ability and shouldn't be used to "make things pretty."
Best PvE idea ever!

That's... Not how wavelengths work...
It would go:
Red
Orange or yellow, whichever you want CCP
Green
Blue
Purple for Officer
Now, Quafe isn't officer, so it SHOULD be pink, so its sorta like a lighter Red. Now, this again isn't how wavelengths work, but it'd make a bit more sense than being the same color as officer.
Or we could go CCP and say "**** logic"...

Can say I'm thrilled buy this proposition. Only colours we need are Red for Radio crystals and either Blue for Gamma or Silver for Multifrequency.

Whilst I agree colour should correspond to wavelength we don't have a mechanic in the game for different wavelength lasers doing different damage types. So kinda pointless. Fairly sure wavelength also has very little to do with range. |

Range is simply how much power is being put into the wave. If you want to be realistic, laser rifles would have such a short wavelength that there would be no visible color anywhere.
Some details can be ignored

I would do it this way:
beam laser: short
heavy beam laser: medium
light beam turret : medium-long
heavy beam turret: long
Now if we ever had other variants of these, we could fill out the rest of the rainbow (e.g. a shorter-range "breach" LR).
If instead we decide to just monkey around with colors because "colors are pretty," we'll never be able to have colors based on range like in EVE. That would be sad.
Best PvE idea ever!

Wavelengths don't denote distance in RL but color usually does show price. However, in New Eden different colors do have different different ranges. I would like to see that type of color scheme carried over to the LR and SCR. I would like to see the color and know what kind of range the weapon has. It would add some flavor to the game and also allow laser users some ability to decide what kind of range they want.

I'd much rather reserve colors for an ammo type expansion featuring laser crystals with a balance ratio between optimal range and dps.
