Give us a preview of what the item will look like crafted with certain materials

Suggestion to this. Instead of a coat rack but T2 mannequin to show a preview or making of your new outfit. This way you can see pattern, colors, buttons, and so on. Does not show your character but truly building your outfitt. This might actually be better setup for customizing outfitt in higher tier but T2 or maybe T3 when you get excellent workstations.

It would be nice if there was a little preview circle on each material/component in the sewing bench so we could at least see the colors we're putting into the gear.

I cannot stress how incredibly much this needs to be implemented. The sheer amount of resources and rare resources spent making items only to find its some crazy color combo that is now going to get tossed is a lot. A color preview could save players wasting tons of resources and time trying to craft items with preferred colors only to find its not at all what they expected.

Genuinely started to considered writing out a chart/excel sheet for each material and what they look like for myself and my friends to refer to because it's so frustrating when my new outfit ends up puke camo with red embossed. Makes me ready to just cut off the game.

I think the red and green arrows on the right are suppose to do that, right? However, I agree because if that's what they are suppose to be for, they don't seem to be accurate or work as intended.
