This Iconset is hosted by Yanfly and, while it is openly available to commercial or non-commercial users, it does heavily use icons from the RPG Maker VX ACE engine. More information on this can be found on Yanfly's website where I acquired this image.

Yanfly recently introduced a large number of recolors for potion icons (glorious!). I was wondering if someone would be willing to take on the request of expanding on this iconset even further with more recolors!
Iconset image for convenience.
Let's get a bit specific though...
1) I really liked the color spectrum used by Yanfly and I'd like to maintain that spectrum. Within the image above you can see 16 colors of the potions and my request is that each weapon/armor thus have 16 color variants (like the potions...).
2) In a perfect situation, it would be wonderful if you could recolor each of the weapons and armor pieces here to be similar to the 16 color choices Yanfly used. I realize the scope of what I'm asking though and understand if I am simply asking too much... which leads me to number 3.
3) What if you listed the gradient / color scheme / whatever... you used and just recolor one weapon or armor and post the image here? Maybe if a bunch of capable artists take on just a few, a final request could be to put them onto a single template.
In the same breath, if someone wants to take on this herculean task by themselves then please feel free to chime in.
4) I'm open to other suggestions for how to approach this request. Colored Aura rather than carefully recoloring the item itself? I'm not as much of a fan of a colored box for a background color... but I guess it might be an option? A tiny elemental symbol in a corner might be too hard to see and thus not be worthwhile... again though, food for thought as an alternative?
5) I'd really prefer whomever works on this be comfortable with this becoming a free to use resource (provided they have RPGMaker VX Ace) that can be shared in this community and also shared back with Yanfly to host on her site.
6) If you also want to add in any MV Icons that aren't represented in this Iconset and give them the same treatment, that would be super and I'm sure there will be much rejoicing.
Thank you.
Reason for the request:
I would like to emphasize elemental properties in weapons and equipment for overcoming / planning for resistances and weaknesses. Having an associated color seems like a fun way to add variety. Not to mention it also opens up the possibility for other enthusiasts to associate their weapons with a type of ore used to make it.
