Okay okay lol, take a breather, I know how infuriating dying can be, as I've waisted THOUSANDS of gold in trying dye combos myself lol.

Now then, WHAT exactly are you trying to dye? The armor's type?? Different Armor's have different materials, and as such, will wield different colors when applied to them. Read this thread on here about dyes.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ight=dye+chart

Now then, as for white dye itself, there is NO specific "WHITE" dye that you can make, because mixtures either have a dulled grey tint, or a yellowish tint. I repeat, NO TRUE white dye is possible, only something as close as possible.

Here's an example, of a white dye formula I have tried on my warrior's Gladiator outfit, as well as a pair of Knight's boots. The Formula I chose to use, was the all too common, Yellow+silver+silver+silver on the lower armband,hips,and knight's boots, with the other being Dye remover+silver silver+silver on the upper arm part of the gladiator outfit.

And here's what my vial looked Like for the Yellow+silver+silver+silver combo

Not too much of a difference in the color of the two, but this is deffinately NOT white dye, as it has a "dirty" looking color to it. As for other formulas of white dye..I'd have to try them and see..but otherwise, the formula you use, on a certain armor piece from whatever proffession, MAY very, hence Ranger's Leather and cloth-like material, and the warrior's Metal-like Material. And one last note, the order with which you use dyes, DOES NOT matter, as you will get the same thing every time. Just read that little link up there I provided =).

Well...I did mention which armor I was coloring...and that was Knight Boots...

Anyways...yes...I knew there was no ONE universal white color. It depends on what you were coloring...

Just out of curiosity...people who say it's WHITE...did you guys do that Y+S+S+S combo an a CLOTH armor???

To Greenfanart86...thanks for that photo.
Yes...my Knight boots looks EXACTLY the same as yours...so I guess the WHITE formual does not work for Knights Armor at all, because it looks just like Dye Remover color...(waste of money).

As for your 15k Gladiator set...that "White" looks more like White Cream color. Mostly whitish...but little tint of yellow in it...

As you can see from my Avatar...she's got same 15k Gladiators...but dyed with only 1 Silver Dye. I thought that looked better because I had white hair.

WHY DID I WANT TO MAKE WHITE FOR KNIGHTS???

- Well, if you guys haven't notcied, the 15k Galdiator set with Silver is actually "whiter" than the Silver for Knights armor.
- Now I know that Knights armor cannot get any "whiter" than the normal Silver dye...but that's actually more like Metal color...not White.

Thanks for info...

lol. I spent well over 50k finding the white dye mix for monk fissure armor. If you're trying to find a specific shade you'll be spending a lot of money testing, believe that.

I'm sure I've spent 150k+ on dyes for different chars

Greenfanart86 · Feb 16, 2006, 05:42 AM // 05:42

Yes, after re-reading your thread, I notice now you said Knight boots specifically XD. Sorry bout' that lol. And you're welcome..I had the same unerving problem as you..because nobody posts their pictures of white dye formulas they have tried on their armor anywhere..that I can find..it seems..I actually recently had an urge to do a TRIAL of white dye formulas I've heard of for use on a gladiator's outfit..here's what I came up with that I'd like to see trial'd for anyone else interested.

1...Yellow+Silver+Silver+Silver (Already shown in this thread..not white)
2...Dye remover+Silver+Silver (Also shown, on the upper armband..not it)
3...Blue+Silver+Silver+Silver
4...Blue+Silver+Silver
5...Yellow+Dye remover+Silver+Silver
6...Silver+Dye remover+Silver+Silver
7...silver+Dye remover+Silver
8...Yellow+Silver+Silver
9...Just plain Silver
10...Black+Silver<------------------V
11...Black+Silver+Silver+Silver<-----(I think these two may be grey..)
12...Silver+Dye remover

So yeah..I've heard alot of different formulas..probably still more...

SnipiousMax · Feb 16, 2006, 05:48 AM // 05:48

I used White dye on my Glad's Armor, and Knights boots. I just use Yellow + Silver+ Silver. It turned out exactly like the Yellow + silver + silver + silver formula. It comes out looking like Ivory. Its really cool, its kinda bone colored armor. I hear it doesn't turn out on necro armor though. And the colors match remarkable well considering that my knights boots have always been a little off.

Ju_Smurph · Feb 16, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

... the colour of the aromour originally does effect the mix... so deal with it. Expirement. But i will tell you a secret, It is 100% impossible to get white... any one that knows a bit about colours can tell you this.

...(white is not a colour ;o) )

Hockster · Feb 16, 2006, 07:02 AM // 07:02

It does not matter what order the dyes are mixed. The end result is exactly the same.

Not True exactly, Purple+Blue then adding a Red is gonnna be different from Red+Purple then adding blue

Hockster · Feb 16, 2006, 08:08 AM // 08:08

All my 3 and 4 dye mixes ended up the same no matter what order the dyes were added.

Must have Combo.....

Lady Lozza · Feb 20, 2006, 09:16 AM // 09:16

White looks rather good on monks collector's. I've seen someone already posted theirs but it looked a touch grey, so I'm suspecting they used one more silver than I did. Anyhow my combo was y+s+s+s.

As for the debate over whether white is a colour or not you can look at it this way: white can be seen as ALL COLOURS, or NO COLOURS, depending on whether you are looking at it in an additive or subtractive light.

No... those would all end up being the same. The times when it's different is say, the difference between Red + Purple + Yellow + Green and Mixed Red/Purple + Mixed Yellow/Green.

I think.

Fooled around with all sorts of different combinations that are posted in this thread and always came up with something that I didn't really like. After wasting about 27 Silver Dyes, I finally found the formula that made my armor look white!

Want to know what it was?
A stupid Silver Dye.

Yep. Silver Dye by itself makes Pyromancer armor look white. And to think I wasted somewhere around 17.5k on this project...

Count to Potato · Feb 20, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Well just to tell you if you mix orange and yellow together for elementalist its quick gold dye at its cheepest

Actually, it's not a shade, it's the absence of color. It's impossible to use any "color" to make something that is the absence of color. I think that is what they were pointing out.

thenewa2x · Feb 24, 2006, 06:37 AM // 06:37

This 1Y+3S formula is good enough for me. Here's a pic with my monk with ivory die.

Lady Lozza · Feb 24, 2006, 07:38 AM // 07:38

Masseur - only in subtractive palettes is white the absence of colour. In an additive palette and in physics white is actually a combination of ALL colours.
BTW thenewa, you didn't include the pic.

shoapy · Feb 24, 2006, 08:53 AM // 08:53

After reading this threads IMHO we can only get Ivory White as the best white that we can produce, right? One question, just how many dyes we can combine for a single set?

Ure Maker · Feb 24, 2006, 11:41 AM // 11:41

with the demand of white i can only think Anet will incorporate it in factions, but at prices of black dye (no prob for ma got loads of cash) i could think even more for it when factions is released caus every1 is trying to get that lucritive gloat "i got perfect white" when infact u cant really, so if Anet puts it in Factions i can c it goin for alot to begin with
