Dye Remover -- What happened to it?
KittenZero
Why has the dye remover disappeared? I was looking to re-dye one of my 15k sets black, but with my current dye it turns out too dark. The dye remover is gone so I can't change back to the original color. Now what?

I have actually heard Grey dye doesn't work the same? Maybe I heard incorrectly though.

So is there a way to change the color of your armor?

hold a powerful magnet close to your screen and your armour goes funky!
nah all they did was change the base colour of armour to grey, so now dye remover is grey dye...
Sergio Leone
Oooh I see. So instead of removing it to that particular armors original color, everythings color is grey.
Kind of like having the starting color of a wall be green and painting it blue and have it be the exact blue. Then when it's blue you can either paint it red with a blue mixture or you can paint in green then red to have the exact red you want? Is that kind of what it is?

just mix your dye with a white or silver one if you want it lighter...

Shoot, when I dyed my 15k armor grey, then black, but it looks the same as it did when I had the blue on it. You can't see any texture at all, it looks like just a cheap, solid color and it's hideous.

Hello everyone, just want to say that its a pleasure being among fellow guild wars players. This being my first official post in this great site, makes it quite an honor.
Concerning dye remover it use to be a key ingredient in making white. I take it that the new grey dye that replaced the dye remover is to help promote the sale of the new white dye, which was implemented with the release of the Nightfall expansion. All is not lost however; since Ivory white can still be produced using a yellow and three silvers, quote me if I'm wrong. I also noticed that old dye in storage are not stackable with new dyes that are bought or found.

Dye remover was 50g... white dye is 12k or so 
I have a female ranger with 15k druids... i used dye remover on that set and imo that looks great (tried several dye mixes but i didnt like those). Now i am afraid (it happened several times before: undyed necro scares anyone?) that anet will ruin that armor by yet another "improvement" to the dye system. I dont have a clue how i can achieve the same effect without dye remover... and i dont gave the cash to experiment with white dyes. GG anet

Dunno why they removed base colours... grey is so boring and a cop out... were they bored colouring the new armours or something?

Hah! I like that jimmy.

They removed it to make it a "money grabber". Basically, all the money we now earn is spent on dye, as every set of armour needs dye now. Cos walking around in grey is cheap and looks nasty.
Where as it used to be, if you bought say early Tormentors, you didn't have to dye it you could just leave it green.
It takes money out of the economy.

I'm finding the dye a little strange to use, I don't see it as a replacement though as its effect is so different.

Yeah, i dont give a shit about using the dye remover on my armors, but it was the key ingredient in several of my combos, and now is gone :.(
Maria The Princess
the change is actually the black dye itself too. It became waaaaay darker then before.
and i love it
and i love it

Actaully its too dark now... it can get rid of certain details from armors. I switched from black cause it looked like my armor was made from some random black cotton cloth and not what I used to craft it.

Please excuse me if I'm totally wrong (which is likely, because my dye-mixing experience is relatively minimal ^^'), but I thought that using dye-remover in a mix, it acted as the base colour of the armour?
So using blue+dye remover on, say, Elementalist armour would have been the same as using blue+purple?
If that's the case, then surely you could still reproduce old combos that used dye-remover simply by replacing it with the dye that was the armour's old base colour...?
I may not be making sense, and I know that some dyes behave a little differently now so perhaps making the exact same colour isn't possible anymore, but that's not as a result of the loss of dye-remover.
As for the OP:
If you were to have used Dye Remover on your 15k set, it wouldn't (as I understand it :S) have changed your armour back to it's previous colour, but would have restored it to its -base- colour. If that was what you were after, then you could easily replicate it with a set of dyes in that base colour from the merchant, instead of dye remover. Whilst they may not be as cheap as dye remover was, at least the base colours still come pretty cheap.

I was about to say basically this exact same thing.
Also , Old dye removers that were in inventories before the change have turned into grey dyes that look red.

ive seen black armor ( looks delicious on dervishes) that looks spectacular dervish looks the best
besides if u look at the dyes on armor now it looks like the armor is dulled
the colors are dulled
if u remember fromt he past events for NIGHTFALL the colors on dervishes (heck all prof armor) armor were very bright almost neon but the new dyes are dulled and more rich not as toybox or cheep looking if u ask me i think the dyes look bttr especially black
