Jade Dye Color - Guild Wars Forums

The Cold Jade · Jun 18, 2008, 05:09 AM // 05:09

My quest for the perfect jade color has yet to continue.
Now, my journey has led me here.
The armor I wish to dye is Elite Druid Ranger Male.

All the combos I try are off-mint colors..
Anyone have recommendations/perfect combo?
Someone told me black dye with all 3 greens work?

I personally use a blue/blue/green - blue/green - or blue/green/green combination whenever i go for "jade looks". Try out each combination, see which one suites your armor best.

like, the blue ones always turn out as a minty color :/
green green green blue still makes a minty color
like the jade-green of this (obviously not the deep greens, or the bright whites)

black + three greens is a horrible, horrible mix, trust me.

GaaaaaH · Jun 18, 2008, 05:38 AM // 05:38

have you tried adding silver to change the color a bit?

The Cold Jade · Jun 18, 2008, 06:05 AM // 06:05

silver 3 green is practically the same as blue 3 green

Lord Sojar · Jun 18, 2008, 06:09 AM // 06:09

(Silver + Green) + (Blue + Green)

Yeah but dye doesn't mix like that anymore (unless it does and I'm unaware of it).

On my assassin Blue + Green + Silver worked very nicely, although I know ranger armors often tend to go a bit darker than most.

The Cold Jade · Jun 18, 2008, 04:20 PM // 16:20

why not try adding another green? to make it more green?

Flawless Predator · Jun 18, 2008, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Flawless Predator · Jun 18, 2008, 08:45 PM // 20:45

The Cold Jade · Jun 18, 2008, 10:02 PM // 22:02

the white green green green just makes another dull mint color.. :/

Syn Wind · Jun 19, 2008, 04:22 AM // 04:22

try using paint program to see which shade of jade u like the when u find one save it , and then knowing what combo, when u get the right amount of right dyes, u can do it on gw without spending a lot on dye combo's, might sound like a silly idea, but just try and see how it goes ?? save urself some money = )

Wait, what?

@Op, maybe these. I wasn't quite sure which color you wanted from that pic, but I assume its one of the darker veins.

Syn Wind · Jun 19, 2008, 07:34 AM // 07:34

was just a suggestion, so to save ur self money trying out different combo's, but yeah u could go with darkflames idea , as shown in the pics just remember diffrent shades show up different on certain class armor compared to others, but good luck in finding what u want = )

Thats the 15k Druid's chest. Male and female armors of the same type dye the same way.

There does seem to be a strange effect on some armours, My ranger has the armour from Droks I bought it before the change to the dye system.

I was testing dye to see if I could come up with a jade green.
Add green and of course you get green
Add a second green and you get a lighter green ?
Try Blue and Yellow and you do not get green

Because the dye works in such a mysterious way you have to just try everything.
Since Jade comes in various shades so there isn't a jade green as such apart from that named by paint manufacturers you might have to get a green you like and call it jade green.

Bring in a dye craftsman for gw2 where you specify an exact shade and then bring the materials and cash to get it mixed.
Adding a equal quantities of dye doesn't cut it any more so it needs an expert to mix the shades.

Pretty sure anet would like a money sink also pretty sure players would pay for exotic mixes.
