as most of you know, black is no longer the most expensive dye since the introduction of white. will this trend last? is our beloved black dye ever going to reclaim the crown of "most expensive dye"? i guess time will tell.
what colors do u enjoy the most?
on a side note, the new white dye looks awesome on female necro 15k kurz.
White Dye A Fad? Or Will Black Make A Comeback

I'd say white dye wil stay at a higher price as long as their drops stay so rare. I farmed for about an hour for dyes yesterday and got a black dye and a few other non-rare dyes. I still haven't got a white dye.

It's double dye weekend...all dye's will fall in price.

I think that they may eventually settle down to being equal, but considering that black dyes have been around alot longer than white it may take a while to balance out a bit. Personally I think both of them have their armour where they work well, and white should be a good mixer, whereas they've broken blacks.

i wish the white actually made armors look white instead of gray

In my first two days in elona i got a total of 4 whites days so my dervish got off to a good start. I have only ever seen 2 blacks in a year and half or so. So i might fall or maybe I got lucky.

It might all depend on people's favorite. If more and more people choose white over black then black might start to go down and vice versa.

I think that black will ultimately be more desired than white but only time will tell....

White vs black will come down to personal taste in the end. And IMO black will win. I think most players like the effect.
And ANet is working on fixing the dye colors. Hopefully we will see an improvement in the silver soon.

the light side wins or the dark side like always in every movie and story the good guy wins, in this instance white wins over black dye, and of course brown gets left out

IMO, black dye is still more rare than white dye. On average, I've heard of more people getting recent white dye drops than black dye. Its too early to tell what the end price of white will be at but my guess is that it will be somewhere in the 2-5K region while black stays around 8-10K. I think black is still more popular than white.

and so....racism in guildwars became apparent in dye prices.

I just got black today

I'm pretty no dye is more rare than the other, just black and white dyes are in greater demand than orange, so more people buy it at the dye trader than sell it at the dye trader.
Additionally, I've received 2 black dyes in game that I can recall, and I just hang on to them. I'm sure other people do this because they plan on getting 4-5 for their armor, so less are sold. However, lots of people will buy black dye from the trader to dye their armor immediately.
However, I'm pretty sure orange dye is more common, that one drops like crazy.

I used to farm dye in pre a lot, and I'm sure anyone else who have also done that can tell you that there is a definate ratio of rarity in the dyes. It was something like 1 silver for every 6 regular dye (red, blue, orange, yellow, purple, green), and 1 black for every 15-20 silver, maybe more. I'm sure there's still a ratio similar to that now, but they may have increased the chances of black and now white.

Black looks good on metallic armors, some of the 'silky' outfits of eles/mesmers, as well as Sin armor. White mostly looks brilliant on cloth(monk especially), and a few of the leather sets.
And as already mentioned above, white is an excellent mixer to produce custom colors, while black currently isnt mixing that well :s
They'll settle down to around the same price eventually in my opinion.

White drop rate is higher then black, black will always be the most exspensive until they add gold dye with a lower drop ratio.
Gold dye will happen..Anet reads this, big boom for shields AR+10 vs XX a while ago and boom green shields with those stats appear..

I still like black. I have been monitoring the price white dye and it has dropped considerably from 15k down to 9k now

I can't believe white dye shot up too like 70k in the first few minutes of the update, it made me laugh when brown dye was like 5k aswell and now 120g at the trader, I hope that white dye will continue to drop ^^
NinjaKai
Personally I think white dye should have replaced dye remover not grey dye.
Cebe
As much as I like the white dye I feel when my NF monk gets far enough through Factions it will still be Black Kurzick ftw! Tis by far the nicest monk armor I've ever seen... Even though white symbolises purity, which I guess is a good thing in a monk, I prefer smiting!

Once you go black, you never go back!

if you want to look good, you have to pay, and in most armors, you look very good in black or white . I thinnk the prices will be somewhat the same.
+ they added a new money sink another rare dye.

I think white dye will become the next standard for silver dye. And silver dye will become common for everyone. The price would hover around 7 to 8k and i think black dye will go back to the status of being one of the rarest dye drop you can find.
Tobias Funke
This is completely anecdotal, but I got my first black dye drop in 15 months yesterday. While I may have finally gotten lucky, perhaps the drop rate has been increased. I think it's absurd that black and white are so expensive. These are the 2 colors that work best for making pigments. If these dyes were cheaper we'd see a lot more different colors in the game. Forrest green, navy, tangerine,powder blue would all become more realistic possibilities. Also you'd be able to experiment with colors more, dye your armor for holliday's and so forth. In short I'd like to see black and white dye drop to around 200 gold.

WHITE?!
That is one of the stupidest things ive ever herd!
Who woud pay big money for a boring colour as white?It adds no coolness whatsoever.

wow, silver dye is close to 400 gold and that is considered afforable for some players. Guess white will become the next expensive dye under black.
KamikazeChicken
People had been calling for white for the longest time. Those people went straight out and started buying, so the price was temporarily inflated. The demand has shrunk, as those people have acquired their dyes, so the price is falling accordingly. >.>
Black and White should hover at around the same price, assuming their drop rates are nearly identical.

IMO, Black and White will wind up having a relatively equal value in the long run. Maybe this is the "good versus bad" mentality that we all have ingrained in us...I dunno.
I personally would choose Burnt Orange over either of those boring colors any day of the week

IMO Both white and black are unoriginal. I'd rather go with a mix involving one of those two......
