basically all dye's do is "color" your armor and weapons. So if you put black dye on say the starter elementalist chest armor.. those stripes which are red would then become black.
You need to know that now all of an armor/shield/weapon is dye'able, and when you apply a dye to that item, only the dye'able part gets dye'ed. Basically dye is a method of getting some color'ing to your armor/weapons that you like.. |

actually black won't turn most things black, more a deep violet or purple. You have to keep stacking multiple dyes on the same location to get real black.
You can mix dyes 4 times before needing a remover. |

When I mix dies, it just tells me it's a mixture. Does the mixing follow conventional mixing guidelines (meaning, Google for color mixtures and voila)?

Read through here. There`s a color mixing program that I`ve fooled around with that not bad and a color chart. If what some are saying, that it mixes like light, then Megenta, Cyan, and Green would be you primary colors. |

Where's the best place to get dye
Is there an easy why to get dye aside from buying it when the rare opportunity comes up or the rarer monster drop? I want to try to keep my characters color matched, but have been unable to find or buy the specific colors I need. You would think GW would make it easier for us to keep our characters unique - that's the essence of an RPG, is it not?

Also, keep in mind that dye sells for a nice chunk of change, and you can get even more by selling to other players. Think carefully before dying something, especially armor early on. If you end up replacing the item and selling/trashing the originial, the dye is basically lost.
On the other hand, having a personalized set of armor is pretty cool. It's just something that you should really think about before doing. |
