Yeah, that's not too uncommon. Since leveling of armor is very heavily dependent on matching Elements, the leveling progress for the Chromatic Armors is very slow, due to being unable to  match Elements. You'll spend way more time/money/fusionstones than you would believe trying to level it towards the end. Plus, 5-stars are the most difficult to level anyway. Don't pin your hopes on getting it from the Chests. Your time/money/gems/fusionstones would very likely be better spent on geting EB+s and fusing 4-stars into 5-stars.

If you DO decide to go for it though, they are pretty beastly.
