Subject: Arbiter!

Why is it that the arbiter's (Thel Vadamee) armor color changed from silver in Halo 2 to Gold in Halo 3? In all the promotionals, toys, posters, etc, they changed as well.
Is it just for an aesthetic appearance? I personally like the silver more.

Your TV must not be able to handle the colors on a video game correctly. In Halo 2, the Arbiter armor is dark grey. In Halo 3 it's Light Black.

Halo 3 Armor in shade

As you can see, the changes in color are just die to graphical updates. The armor can look golden because it's reflecting in the sunlight.

And go play halo 2, then 3, and tell me theres not a huge difference.
