Try yellow or orange, then start mixing.

Coolest armor set of all is the Crystalline:

Of course, you have to use buggy beta Nvidia drivers to get it.

Hah- I get that all the time when I minimize the game while a zone is loading.

Dumb question:
When you mean silver+silver+silver+dye remover do you mix all of them before hand and then apply or do you apply them all on the armor one by one and it gives you that color

?

You mix them all before hand.

Does anyone know the dye combination of a bright/dark pink color for 1.5k female necromancer fanatics?

I have tried some basic dye combinations: red+silver=red, red+silver+purple=dark purple and so on.

Thank you in advance.

Try R+S+S or R+P+S+S. Haven't played with necro dying myself, but being too dark seems to be your problem.

hmm what colour mix would make knights set look most golden ? seen some with yellow and it does look yellow not very golden :/

ShadowStorm · Oct 17, 2005, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Ok, I don't know if anyone here has asked this yet, but what happens when you apply silver to Necro scars? And what about black? It's not on the charts at the begining of the thread.

I have seen a lot of confusion on the boards about how dye works. I am pretty sure I have sorted it out from all the conflicting messages and also from in-game testing.

Here is a mini-FAQ about dyes:

Q: How do you mix dye?

A: You must double click a vial of dye and apply it to another vial of dye to get a new vial labelled "mixed." [HINT: Applying one color over another color on an item will NOT mix the colors, it just applies the new color as if there was no color already on the armor.]

Q: Does mixing dye with dye remover produce a different color?

A: No. If you mix dye remover with dye you will have a slightly transparent color, so you will see the original (undyed) color of the armor through the new color you applied. [HINT: That's why people think it makes a new color, but it depends on the original (undyed) color of the armor.]

Q: Does it matter what order I mix the dyes?

A: It does not matter what order you mix 2 dyes. However, if you want to mix more than 2 you need to know how the mix happens. Each time you mix dye, it treats it as 2 dyes and you get the result based on which 2 you mix. Therefore, if you mix Silver + Yellow, then add Orange, then add Silver again, it will not look the same as if you mix Silver + Yellow, then mix Orange + Silver, then put the two mixed dyes together.

Q: Why does the same formula produce a different color than I expected, or a different color on me than it does on my friend? [Armor only. Not including Chaos Axe, etc.]

A: The dye will look different depending on the material it is applied to. Imagine putting dye on cloth, silk, leather and metal. It will have a different appearance on each of these materials.

Q: Does it matter which color I double-click on and apply to the other?

A: From in-game testing, applying Yellow to Green or Green to Yellow looks exactly the same. (Lime Green) I have seen no evidence that using one color first has an effect except when mixing more than 2 dyes. (See question above)

I hope this helps everyone understand dyes. I like all the posted screenshots of experiments with colors on different armor types. It would be nice if some more experimentation was done to find other colors. There is no need to dye complete sets for experimentation, but try to pick something with a large dye-able area so the color is easily seen.

Thanks!

Something I've found, if you want to look diffrent but not spend money on dyes, use dye remover on your "stock" armor. It's already pre-painted.

Female Ele crafted armor is a purple underneath.

I have updated my Chart to include all the 3 Dye mixes that use Black, they have also been put on armor.

The chart now covers all the 3 Dye mixes. Enjoy.

And for those who are to lazy to go find it in this thread, here is the link.

Excellent- glad to see you found all those blacks that fast, considering I bumped into you at Drok's only a couple days ago

As for the other project you mentioned to me when we talked, I'd be happy to donate my pics, and I'd like to discuss it with you further if/when you get that rolling.
