[Skill Gems] Differentiate more between Active/Support

I'd like to start off by saying that I LOVE the new Skill Gem art. I expected something crude like Lightning Gems being Lightning Shaped or something, but you guys took it to the limit and gave every gem unique art. That's awesome.

However, I feel that supports and actives now look a bit too similar. It's still possible to tell the difference, but it's not immediately obvious anymore when you're looking at, say, a stash tab full of red gems.

My proposition is to use the current gold colored adornments for active skills, and change to a nice silver color for the metal adornments on support gems. Or vice-versa.

This would not take away from the quality work you guys did on the design, probably wouldn't require a whole lot of effort, and would go MILES toward helping us differentiate between gems in a stash full of gems of same color.

Can we do this?

Very reasonable
I like the idea. It shouldn't take anything away from the wonderful job they did and serves a useful purpose.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...
A huge +1 to silver adornments for support gems.

Others have been talking about changing the gems in one way or another, and this is the only suggestion I've seen that made perfect sense and would look even more beautiful IMO due to the added variety.

I hope GGG sees this one, and considers it seriously.

Edited to remove some presumptuousness from the post concerning the effort required to make the change.
