Is there copper in my incendiary ammo?

[biostem]

This has kind of been bugging me for a while now - Why, when selecting incendiary ammo for my dual pistols characters, does it change the ammo to greenish?  Could it please be made to either accept a tint, or barring that, into more of an orangish hue?

For comparison, here is chemical ammo:

 

 

And cryo ammo:

To my knowledge, no Paragon City police officers are ground up and added to the incendiary ammo used by heroes.

I would assume the same goes for Vigilantes.

I don't think rogues could get away for using ground up Paragon City police officers in their incendiary ammo for long without being forced by the game to take on full villian alignment.

Villians? Apparently, they can do whatever they want as long as Lord Recluse doesn't send his minions to successfully shut them down.

When you use a dark environment for your screenshots, you can lose a significant amount of the visual effects. For example, comparing the Dual Pistols ammunition types:
 

Standard ammunition:
Incendiary ammunition:
Chemical ammunition:
Cryogenic ammunition:

 

None of this affects your concerns over the colors of the special rounds, only that in your examples, you're missing quite a bit of the special effects -- incendiary and chemical ammunition are visually quite distinct when you can see all of the particle effects.

Oh no doubt!  It's really the color more than whether they are distinct in appearance or not.  I rather like the sort of "whispy trails" you get from chemical ammo, and I have absolutely no issues with how the other ammo types appear.  Thank you for the brighter screenies, though!

I had actually taken them as part of reporting a bug with the DP 'Swap Ammo' animations, in that the progression of the visuals for the shots don't actually synch properly with the shots themselves -- some of them trail well behind the shot. It doesn't affect the animation itself or the timing, just the visuals, and you have to be paying close attention to notice.
