If its Ascetics, you're screwed :/

Blue dye does NOTHING to it, no matter the dye combo for some reason

I've been wanting a blue dye for mine, but I cannot because Anet did something to me armor. ><

if it's aestics DON'T PANIC!

Remember ROYGBIV?
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet

For whatever reason the color wheel is off a bit, so what you want to do is, move the color that you applied, down the wheel a bit into a color range that you want. I did it with trial and error, using dye remover to remove existing colors off the armor piece, then mixing 2 colors, sometimes adding dye remover to see what effect it had on the mix.

For example yellow becomes blue, but I wanted purple, so I reasoned orange/green = yellow which is blue, trying an orange/blue mix to move it towards the purple.

Try moving along the color wheel towards the colors you want, by combining dyes in this manner.

I'd try green+blue+green+silver or green+blue+blue+silver

Ever since they updated the Ascetics FoW Dye'ing. I haven't been able to reproduce this color. So i'm not going to change it. D:.

My lord, it has been a very long time since I saw a dye I was truely impressed by. I love your dye mix. If I ever get obsidian, I will surely be sporting something of the like.

As for you Stalker and Across, if you are sporting Ascetic's try Green + Orange, it should give you the same brilliant blue.

Damn, now I wish I had a set of Ascetic's FoW purely for the dye experimentation value

I just spent 45k testing dyes and came nowhere close. If anyone comes near that color please contact me ingame: Mist Is A Monky. Thanks.

are you wearing Ascetic's FoW? Also, a screenshot would be helpful for further exploring the desired color.

This is a two-dye chart for Monk FoW Ascetic's

green+orange looks like a good base for the desired color.

Yea, it looks like a good color combo however it doesn't work. Is that chart for the new FoW combos or the old FoW combos?

Edit: After spending 45k on dyes testing I have found that there are no combos for a pure white or a pure blue. Unless someone can show me otherwise guess I'm sticking with dull black.

/cry

I want a good blue, damn it anet. Give me a good blue
I tried it a few times
Green and Orange DOES NOT WORK

Edit: I bit the bullet and tried black + blue. It creates a deep dark blue sort of like navy blue, nothing like the picture above.
Edit 2: After about an hour of testing, and at least 10k of a guildies money, weve determined purple + green + orange looks like a good blue, ill post a screenie soon if i can.
