I'd be fine with something like this: all my spells have purple effects because of my drow heritage. Why not, it's cool and easy to remember. But if instead it's this: well, my magic missile is blue, but my farie fire is a kind of light green. My scorching ray is a kind of neon pink shot through with orange streamers, and my eldritch blast is a kind of chartreuse with a handful of sparkles tossed in.... I'd probably have to put my foot down.I tend to focus on reskinning during character creation primarily as a tool to help players get exactly the concept they're going for. Sometimes this is low key, but other times it's more substantial, for example when fitting together a MC built to reflect a single concept In that case some good reskinning can really pull the idea together. I tend to get grumpy when people start asking to change all manner of things during the game though, because no, I'm not going to remember and, frankly, it's not that important.</blockquote>
