This topic relates to one of my "I always wondered why.." thoughts i have while playing GW. I have quite a few of these. This one is namely:

I've always wondered why dye cant work from a neutral base. We know it doesnt, because the base color or type of the armor piece in question comes into play. Question is why? Armor is basically a .png or some other image file wrapped around a 3d character model, lighting effects applied. There is a default coloration for said armor piece, granted. Why cant when a dye is applied a neutral armor piece image file is referenced (better yet, the original is actually neutral, but default coloration is a dye state, but has no effect on dyes applied, and it reverts to this on use of dye remover) and when dye is applied so that - oh the wonders - you get that color. ^^ Would be kind of nice.

Yeah please bring back the vibrant colors Anet. I don't even see why updating the armors with such dull and bland colors , it makes no sense to me at all .

I'm actually not that dissapointed with it, but i will admit, having some of the bright colors would be nice...

however, the main color i was originally planning to get and still use, plain red, is only possible with the non-inverse dying, i've seen attempts on the old version and it just didnt look as good to me (it was more purple-ish)

Maybe we need some kind of thing like a dye remover, but instead a dye inverter

Glad I saw this thread - I am about to get my first FoW set - for my monk, and I have been drooling over the old color/dye charts, and was looking forward to trying out some bright colors... but now....

They can't "change it back" without removing shards from the materials needed <_< Dyes change slightly depending on WHAT you apply it to...

LOL I agree...I liiked the old bright colors it'd dye, but you can't beat black monk FOW. I play with color on some armor sets (purple+green is the best blue on monk tats btw) but for my monk fow its all about rockin' the blacck
