Hello, I started to buy my 15k enchanters armor a few hours ago (only 2 pieces so far), but the other dye charts in this thread didn't really seem reliable to me.

So I decided to do my own testing by mixing colours in Photoshop using the blending modes. After compairing the various blending options I decided that 'Overlay' resulted in the most sensible/realistic combination. So I made one layer of green over a layer of blue, then I changed the blending mode to overlay and I got a teal colour. That just happened to be the colour I was going for, so I bought a green and blue dye from the dye trader and applied the green dye to the blue dye - just how I did in Photoshop, I then applied the dye to my shirt and to my pleasent surprise it turned into the colour I mixed in Photoshop.

So going by that experiment, I made a complete chart consisting of 64 colours in total (not including default colours), whereby each dye is mixed with every other dye once.

I've uploaded the table to my website so you can all use it and hopefully provide feedback and your own results. Please be aware that this chart is almost completely theoretical, and the colours may not appear identical in-game.

If you have a browser that is better than IE, go here:

If you're using Internet Explorer, you can view the chart here:

In any browser other than IE, search for a colour you like, then move your mouse pointer over the colour, the combination for that colour will be displayed.

Thank you for the link to the complete chart. I screwed up my monk's tan tats trying to get them lighter. I was able to fix him back using that chart.

Hey cunning, awesome chart u got there. I really like how i was able to see that mixing black with black gets u ultra black. Oh, frog, props on your awesome chart too.

So silver+silver almost nets white dye, unless my brightness/contrast is off.

I included every 1x1 combination so I could have a complete chart, whether you will get the same results or not I don't know.

I would be interested to see how accurate my predictions are though.

Has anyone tried the silver - Black glowing axe after using dye remover to clear it first?

A few weeks ago, I was in Droknar and saw this monk with 'white' dyed tatoos.

I believe the "white dye" you see on this monk is actually silver dye. The reason it looks white is because the skin color of the monk is dark so when you apply silver dye to the monk tatoos, the color appears white. I've tested this out - my pve monk has light skin with silver dyed CHEST tatoos; my pvp monk has dark skin and silver dyed CHEST tatoos also....notice the difference in color even though I used the same dye color.

I second that, I'm going through the same delema.

Did the same thing... I've wasted SO much dye trying to find out how to dye it pink... It would be easier if you have a vial of dye thats a specific color.. then your armor/Tatt's or whatever will turn out to be the same color as the color it is in the vial... It's rediculous and I wish they would change it!!!

Anybody know the mixture for White Dye?

RyuuTenshi · Sep 04, 2005, 09:31 PM // 21:31

It seems like the dyes don't always colour your armour correctly. I got the crimsom silver for my pyromancer armour, but when I put dyed it, it wasn't even red! My armour ended up blue with a hint of green. Lucky for me, I liked the colour or else I would've wasted a lot of gold. Anet should change it so the dyed armour comes out relatively the same colour as the dye.

Hey does anyone know how to make white dye im tryin to find out so i can put it on my 15k armor for my ranger lata Virg
P.S or anything that looks similar.(besides just plain silver dye)

Kobalt29 · Sep 05, 2005, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Does anyone know how to make perfectly skin blended dye, cuz the monk tatoos are gay and i want to make them transparent so it looks like i have nothing on =D

Now have every 3 Dye mix, all used on Monk wanderer's Armor.

Dye Chart All Possible 2 and 3 Dye Mixes.

Monk Armor Dyed with the Black + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Blue + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Green + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Orange + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Purple + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Red + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Silver + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Yellow + 2 Dye Mixes

Monk Armor Dyed with the Dye Remover + 2 Dye Mixes

Note: The order in which you combine the Dyes does not effect the outcome of the Color. Red+Blue will give you the same color as Blue+Red; and Blue+Orange+Green is the same is Blue+Green+Orange. I assume this to also be true for the 4 Dye mixes, but I have yet to test it.

I hope to eventually add the Black Dye mixes, but they are kind of expensive so it will be some time before I have enough gold saved to buy all those Black Dyes.

Hello,

please - can anybody help me, cause I'm getting seriously frustrated now.

I tried many combinations of blue, green and silver, to get a really bright and shiny turquoise for my monk fissure armor. But I must say: I failed...

I've seen the colour on different screenshots but even the colour table in this Thread doesn't help me getting to it. Please if there's anybody out there who knows how to get this bright turquoise - help me...

A frustrated
