and i love it

Actaully its too dark now... it can get rid of certain details from armors. I switched from black cause it looked like my armor was made from some random black cotton cloth and not what I used to craft it.

Please excuse me if I'm totally wrong (which is likely, because my dye-mixing experience is relatively minimal ^^'), but I thought that using dye-remover in a mix, it acted as the base colour of the armour?
So using blue+dye remover on, say, Elementalist armour would have been the same as using blue+purple?
If that's the case, then surely you could still reproduce old combos that used dye-remover simply by replacing it with the dye that was the armour's old base colour...?
I may not be making sense, and I know that some dyes behave a little differently now so perhaps making the exact same colour isn't possible anymore, but that's not as a result of the loss of dye-remover.

As for the OP:
If you were to have used Dye Remover on your 15k set, it wouldn't (as I understand it :S) have changed your armour back to it's previous colour, but would have restored it to its -base- colour. If that was what you were after, then you could easily replicate it with a set of dyes in that base colour from the merchant, instead of dye remover. Whilst they may not be as cheap as dye remover was, at least the base colours still come pretty cheap.

QFT

I was about to say basically this exact same thing.

Also , Old dye removers that were in inventories before the change have turned into grey dyes that look red.

I suppose I should refrase that; when I apply the black dye to my armor, it removes all the texture. It' just a solid color and looks cheap and ugly.
