Black dye being BLACK dye

looks like 'crappy' to me

Honestly, the only point of black dye is for mixing. Why make an active effort to look like everybody else? That is what you are doing when you dye your armor black, in my humble opinion. I guess I'm just tired of seeing tons of characters with black armor.

you realise 2 blacks and 2 silvers is the exact same thing as 1 each?... what a waste that was.

*sigh*
Why do people complain about this? Do you really want armour to dye the same colour regardless of armour type? If you don't like the way that black dye looks on your armour, don't use it! There has been a lot of work done on dyes (mainly two dye mixes) to give gamers a look at how many types of armour dyes. Have a look at it for inspiration, and create something unique for once.

Hell, if you are that concerned about showing off your leet status, then 3x black + 1x other colour would do that, seriously, it's much much more expensive than 1 simple black dye pot.

Add a Dye Remover and you get a Bright Pink Pony

wouldnt black+black+silver+silver give you a 75%silver, 25%black result?

It's black dye (liquid used for staining items, and effected by the color of the cloth already), not liquid-portal-to-the-darkest-corner-of-the-underworld.

Could use a standardization change, but not much else.

black is not a color

For the cheap ones here: If you turn your monitor off, you have nothing but black colors!

I've had 2 Black's drop already.

Black is every color.

This is the same as Black + Silver just so you know. Psychologically it isn't, but mechanically it is.

Black Dye is interesting and I think it shows a lot of insecurity about people (though not always). Black is the plainest, most dull colour and the most expensive and rarest. However people will use it because if they dye their wammo's FoW a colour other than black, they'll only be 95% leet because its not expensive to the max. Even dragon masks were saturated in black dye at the last event.

Black dye shows up stormy purple on 1.5k pyromancer.

IMO bunches of people dye their armor black because they think it looks "evil" and they want to seem evil. My ele's armor is only dyed black because I like the way it contrasts the white on his robes... and it goes with his hair.

Sorry I was thinking pigments not rgb. In which case white is red, green, and blue at full intensity together.

Aside from RGB video, when a pigment reflects a color isn't it actually all the the colors but the color you see.

Like if an object is green, it absorbs all the colors but green, and green is reflected so that is what you percieve it to be, but what color really is it?

So in that case isn't black all the colors absorbed and none reflected? No color reflected would be the absence of color, but the colors not reflected (absorbed) would be all the colors.

Correct.

When talking about pigments, white is the absence of color. When talking about light and wavelengths, black is the absence of color.

Haha the same thing happened to me when i first got it... only i died a crapy shield.... and never got another black die since.

Although i recently bought one to put on my 15k kurzick armor.. and yep it came out grey, lol...so i agree about that... but it still looks better than the red dye that came out pink, lol.

in pigments.... black = all color.

in visible light.... white = all colors...

Get it right... nublets

(yes i know someone was already corrected, i felt the need to rub it in.)

Anyone else think that its rediculous that black dye costs 50-100 times as much as other dyes except silver? It's not like it has any effect on the game. Dying your armor doesn't make it function better; unlike 15k armors which are generally better looking than 1.5k armor, stuff dyed black doesn't look any better than other colors. It's best used as a mixer. I've played the game over a year and have NEVER gotten a black dye drop. I'm not saying dye should be free, but for something 100% cosmetic 9-10K per black dye is plain silly. I fail to see why they felt the need to drive down sup. absorbtion runes prices but not black dye.
