TLDR: read title or follow green text
The wardrobe has a pigment selection right under the item cosmetic list, which changes the color of your armor. I feel like its a good idea to give players the same dye option for the cosmetic shop item previews.
- It (kind of) multiplies the shops offer, just by showing new color variants (1.5.1 added another set of color schemes, extending this further)
- Players propably spend more time in the shop by testing different combinations
- Together its much more likely to have players find something that fits their current gear or style choice

Btw, there is a great Youtube channel I found recently that goes to great lengths to provide exactly what we are missing in the current shop: to give players a look at each shop cosmetic in every color variant, even from a combat perspective. This is important because the impression from top-down view matters too.

Mounts and other cosmetics are included, overall it is pretty insane. As someone said in the comments: “this guy is doing Inarius work”. It is also interesting to identify the more popular articles by the number of views.
@Diablo Team, I suggest you contact the channel and give him/her a lifetime discount on shop items.
If you watch the videos, it becomes clear that some armor pieces look very different with new colors. Dusty grey or rusty brown can be set to bloody red or extravagant gold. There is potential to attract new buyers with their favourite color.
For example, did you know that the glow effects on “The Profaned Knight” change color too? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftUlCVKYJKY&t=400s
It is one of the most popular shop armors, so you might know about it. And it might be so popular to a certain extent because of this hidden feature.
Dont hide it, its a win-win for everyone who gives either money or content to the shop. Because of this I suggest to add the pigment/dye selection to the item preview in the ingame shop. And it would be great to see it get introduced with this feature combined:
