Default Dye Charts and Dyed Armors/Weapons

I get my own thread now . I will be adding more charts as soon I as get them put together.

Mini-FAQ about dyes (~Fezz)

1) How do you apply Dyes?

To apply a Dye you simply double left-click on the Vial, then left-click on the item you wish to apply it to.

2) What all can Dyes be applied to?

Dyes can be applied to most all Armor, most weapons and off-hands, and your inventory bags.

3) How do you mix Dyes?

To mix 2 Dyes together you double left-click on one Vial, then left click on the one you want to mix it with.

4) How many Vials of Dye can be mixed together?

You can mix up to 4 Dyes together.

5) What happens if I apply a Dye to an already Dyed armor?

The new color that you wish to apply will ignore all previous colors on the Armor.

6) Does the order that Dyes are mixed matter?

No, you can mix the Dyes in any order you feel like and you will get the same results. Example: Blue+Green+Red+Purple is the same as Green+Purple+Red+Blue.

7) Can you mix a Dye with a Dye of the same color i.e. mix Silver with Silver?

Yes it is possible, but it requires you to store your Dyes so that you have 2 stacks of the same color. Don't waste your time doing this as it can mess up your Dye mix.

8) How does Dye Remover work?

Dye Remover simply returns your armor to its base color, this is not always the color that you bought it as.

9) How does Dye Remover work in Dye mixes?

In a Dye mix the Dye Remover will act like a Vial of Dye that is equivalent to the base color of the item you are applying it to.

10) Does a Dye mix look the same on different items?

No, any specific mix will yield a different color on different armors, weapons, etc.

11) What are the "Base Armor Colors"

Assassin: Blue
Elementalist: Purple
Mesmer: Green
Monk: Yellow*(Tatoos: Blue)
Necro: Red
Ranger: Yellow*
Ritualist: Orange
Warrior: Yellow

*These are not axactly Yellow, but in most cases act that way.

12) If you use a Dye Remover do you get your Dye back?

No, using a Dye Remover remover is sort of like using Bleach on your clothes, you lose the color and the Bleach, but in this case its the Dye and the Dye Remover.

-------------

Dye remover basically works like a normal dye, just that it defaults to your class's armor. (~Asplode)

* Asn: Blue
* Ele: Purple
* Necro: Red
* Warrior: Yellow
* Monk: Yellowish (blue on tattoos)
* Ranger: Yellowish
* Ritualist: Orange
* Mesmer: Green

-------------

Dye to scar color converter to save a lot of time and money (~FrogDevourer)


The same color chart for Chaos Axes (~FrogDevourer)

Note: 'glowing black' means your axe is basically white with a very bright yellow/orange glow (see screenshot).

If you find any images that don't work, or know of any charts that are out of date due to a game update, please let me know.

nice thank you!

I've seen this chart on another page as well I think OGgaming? You're the one who did that one also?

Great job, thanks

Yes, the ones you see on OGaming are mine(same as these), thats where this project started.

Now that I can update the listing on my own, updates will come more often.

Thank for your hard work Fezz. This is awesome and incredibly useful.
Just a comment: could you include all the material from the previous dye thread? I'd like this thread to be the new official one so we need as much material as possible in the OP (tables from Ensign, my color wheel, FAQs...).

Edit: Its all been added, except I left off Valareos's Chart since that link hasn't worked in months.

I am having a horribly frustrating time dying my 15k Luxon male Warrior armour. I'm trying for a dark red but the mixes are royally screwing up - for instance, Green + Purple (which makes a slightly brighter red color) dyes the armour almost the same tone as a straight pure blue dye. Red + Red + Red + Purple makes a light hot pink. -_- I'm going for a dark red color - so far the best i've been able to come up with is straight orange.

I will add your chart to the first post. I am just going to put it with the other two weapon charts I have, but if you would like your own section let me know and I will make it so.

Ty
If I remember correctly it is impossible(or no way is known as of now) to Dye the Necro armors white, though from doing the Scar chart recently, I think Scars might be able to be Dyed White.

But if you haven't tried it you can give Yellow+Silver+Silver+Silver a try, since thats the normal "White" mix.

Ok, just a couple of things to add to what has been said.

1) Dye combinations are limited by the maximum number of dyes you can combine. This number is 4. It is impossible, yes impossible, to combine more than four dyes, the interface simply WILL NOT LET YOU.
2) Dye remover (generally) functions the same as the "base" colour of the armour. Ie for mesmers mixing green + yellow will give the same result at remover + yellow.
3) The colour combination for the pvp brown monk tatts is black + orange + black. Expensive.
4) In my experience the order of 3 dyes in a mix do NOT affect the colour of the mix, so long as all 3 dyes are DIFFERENT. In combinations that require multiple dyes of the same colour, mix those of different colours first! Ie. brown tatts for monks black + orange + black, never black + black + orange.
5) The "base" colour for rit armour is orange, and I'm 90% sure it is blue for assassins.

Instead of just editing the other FAQ that was there I just copied mine over from OGaming. So those things you pointed out should be in there.

If you have a pic of those Tatoos, I will start a section up for Submitted Mixes.

Edit: and Mournblade, would you mind linking to that image with the shields instead of showing the image. It stretches the window.

Just a heads-up: From what I've seen in another thread, the new Ascalon/Tyrian/Krytan armors in Cantha (which have the same appearance as the starter/crafter/collector armors in Tyria) dye differently from their Tyrian counterparts. So instead of just renaming the old dye charts, you may have to redo them

Also, do you know if FrogDevourer's old Necro Scars chart is still accurate, now that the way they dye has been changed?

I was planning on doing atleast the Ascalon Set(was waiting to see if the others where the same).

I haven't done much testing, but I think the Facial Scars now Dye the same as the body Scars, which makes things much more simple.
