What you say is true when working with paints, but for GW it is lighting pigments. Remember ROY G BIV? Although I havent seen any Indigo dye yet. Give me a second cause there is a post on here that has a light graph that shows what you can get from 2 colour combinations.

Edit:

Yanked this from another post. It explains Light mixing as opposed to paint. You can not mix to get black with light, like you could with paint.

Lol, you think you need to be a geek to know that? I learnt that when I was 7, mate.

So I guess that makes you stoopid on two accounts

----

That little light tutorial is wicked. So Guild Wars dye works as light and not paint? Makes sence then cos I seem to get bright purple when I mix colours that should so not produce it lol.

If Guild Wars would just sort the dye out now, it's be perfect. Cos blue and yellow, light or paint... does NOT make green. *pout*

They have green dye? And I would be happy to give you some cause you Avatar has pretty eyes. Or, am I missing your point?

Rayawni · Jun 21, 2005, 04:37 PM // 16:37

you can buy regular orange dye from a dye trader. Silver can either darken or lighten a color. I mixed silver and purple together and it looked dark in the vial. When I applied it to my hydromancer armor it turned out a lighter purple with shine.

Lighter than regular purple dye. So just try diff things and see what happens.

They have green, yellow, blue, red, purple, silver, black...a lot of the colors you would find in a crayon box.

That's very true... it makes a yucky greenish blue ish looking color. I know when I would mix my own paints there was a certain amount of other colors you would have to add to get a greener than green color. But mostly...only use a drop of blue in a puddle of yellow...then it makes an ok green.

It does in the vial. Funny enough that was the colour I wanted. But when I applied it to my mix of knights and ascalon armor... it showed as electric blue.

Silver is essentially "white".

Hammer_Slammer · Jun 21, 2005, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I got what I believe to be a perfect gold from yellow + silver + yellow. Looks fine to me.

TopGun · Jun 26, 2005, 02:04 AM // 02:04

The Mesmer looks good, but I'm just curious- why'd ya add green?

d4nowar · Jul 01, 2005, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Because it gives a color shimmering effect that is really nice.

My 15k enchanter's armor for my female mesmer has Green into Purple, and then that mix into Orange.

From different angles you can see different colors coming out into the open and it draws tons of attention to that. After I did it I was just running around in different light trying to find cool angles.

So here is mine.

In that pic you can see a little bit of purple and green showing, and It is slightly darker than the Mesmer a few posts up.

Personally, I'm incredibly happy with that color. The shifting shades of colors makes it incredible.

EDIT: In that light the top looks golder than the legs. The legs look pretty orange-ish there. Just shows the varying power of my combo.

DrSLUGFly · Jul 01, 2005, 03:50 AM // 03:50

That green-yellow-orange mesmer armor... if this were additive mixing I'd recommend another yellow to the mix... but subtractive? so far, still confused...

Is there any way to get white in the game, or super-duper light silver?

d4nowar · Jul 01, 2005, 04:43 AM // 04:43

It sounds expensive, but Black Dye + Dye Remover might do something cool like that. I wouldn't want to waste the money if it didn't though...

ecto bomb · Jul 01, 2005, 05:50 AM // 05:50

i dyed my necromancer 15k armor gold just for the heck of it combo is yellow+orange+silver i believe, and gold also matches my guild's cape XD

Numa Pompilius · Jul 01, 2005, 06:24 AM // 06:24

Is the effect of mixing with dye remover that you inverse the color?

It'd be nifty if it was the case. Real nifty. Because it means one can get white dye.

Think I'm gonna have to buy myself something cheap and try.

Check your system, depending on where you downloaded the program. Quite a few sites offer it for download with a keylogger in it. Just a heads up.

Maxiemonster · Jul 01, 2005, 08:37 PM // 20:37

There are many kinds of Gold, I like the one with 1 Orange, 2 Yellow and 1 Silver

That's a real Gold

It also differences on what armor you place the Dye off course, not every Gold is nice on every armor.

Pharoke · Jul 01, 2005, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Ok, downloaded a dye chart from somewhere and this is how I read it.
Mix orange+silver
Mix yellow+silver
Mix orange/siler+yello/silver
now have shimery gold due to the silver.

Numa Pompilius · Jul 02, 2005, 11:28 AM // 11:28

Cost me a couple of plat, but I've checked, and mixing with dye remover seems to do nothing at all. Doesn't even seem to make the color lighter.

Applied on gladiator armor, orange + silver is orange (or really a sort of brown). Yellow + silver is yellow (and fairly gold-like).
Silver, on it's own, is grayish, but not shiny, and I suppose not unlike white paint.

I admit I'm a bit disappointed by the result.
