Based on everyone's responses (both on the forums, and discussions I've had elsewhere) the consensus definitely seems to be colored icons in the list views and colored name in the tooltip.
I'll probably have to add a colored icon to the trade tab in stations if we want the rarities represented there (outside the tooltip), though that could look a little weird outside of the misc or all sections.

Will there also be the ability to manually set a tier's color (really dislike WoW's color scheme as you basically posted) in the DL'd client files?

Right now I have them hard-coded, but I'll look into what it would take to make them part of the client xml.

![Post Post](./styles/sstheme/imageset/icon_post_target.gif) Re: Item Tiers for Rarity
For anyone curious how this is going (I'm getting addicted to status updates), its a lot of work to map all the balance sheets to tiers! I'm nearly done with the sheets though, and I'm expecting to finish in the next few hours. After that I'll move on to a few obvious items that will have to be manually set, such as commods.
Once that is completed, I'll work on making the tiers visible in more places (right now, its just tooltips and ship inventories). I'll have to add support for for the base trade tab, base inventory, and TSL all separately (though because much of the code is shared, it won't be as much work as the initial ship inventory work).

I've been given the suggestion of making dropped items glow with their tier color, which sounds like a fun idea. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on it.
