I've recently been quite lost with the new dye system. It's very annoying how limited the colors are on most armor sets. Black is like adding dark purple on quite a few. 65% of all combinations come out as purple. The lack of the old dye remover to invert stuff makes me sad as well.
The old dye system was better for.. sheen? I'm not sure that's the right word to explain it. We need that back while keeping the solid coloring provided now. I personally liked the old dye better, but they have both seemed like half a system. It's like we were missing a slider.
Assuming what we're working with now is Color + Material it's placed on, we need a way to change the properties of the second one. Sorta of like adding coal to your red, or monstrous eye juice to make your yellow "shine". Silver really only abuses shadowing now, and white is like dipping stuff in white, not adding white to it. You add a single white to yellow and it literally sucks the yellow out. We need a way to keep the color while changing it's intensity and shine.
We need suggestions, someone who knows more about art than I do would probably be best. *Laughs*
