Northern Front Swain's hat and shoulder plates are so vivid it actually makes me not want to pick it

I already own the skin and I love it, I loved it before, I love it now - in game.

But the splash art is different. These parts are way too blue there and it does not match the ingame model: https://imgur.com/HHoJgGf https://imgur.com/huH9Xlf

I feels very unmilitarily (is that a word?) and unuseful, as it would stand out against the snow, which is very much against Swain's beliefs. I know the arm glows blue, but these parts are very vivid in the places the light doesn't go and I'm actually fine with the arm and it's glow, the parts are the only thing that seems so off.

From my own experience I know that changing something like this (excluding the implementation to the game itself) takes mostly five minutes, so I'm sure there would be no problem in doing that if there are many people who agree. If yes, make your voice be heard, please.

And I ask the same from the opposite side, since not changing anything but my mind would be way easier: Is there a reason why this vivid blue is a good thing? I don't ask for "who cares" or just aesthetic preference opinions (although I accept the letter, I wouldn't want to change something based on the louder minority), I'm rather interested in actual reasoning.

Thank you for your attention.

Edit:

To be clear, this is a shitty version of what I basically mean: https://imgur.com/gaREMqI

Looks like a very nice splash art. You sure there is not something wrong with your monitor that makes these colors look off?

I did not say it's not. And yes, I am.

Edit: Also if it was my monitor, I would not see the major difference between the splash and the model.

Well, overall, although from a lore perspective swain would've liked something that didn't stand out. That simply wouldn't make a good looking splash. The artist most likely chose that specific vivid blue because it just, looks good.Which is definitely something you want from a splash.

I figure that since he has a glowing bright blue arm he said "eh, fuck it."

Well I don't think it looks good, quite opposite, I think it looks like - said from the irl painting perspective - a bad colour mixing. It's the difference of putting too much of black and white into the paint, or (which is this case) too little.

(Colour mixing here being replaced with shifting your cursor around the spectrum, to be clear.)
