Well, my I just got my paragon Gold Spear and Shield (Tengu from BMP), and I want do dye my armour to go with it. My Guild's Cape is Gold, shes Blonde, so it'd look cool, but is it possible to make a GOLD Dye or must i use the yellow..?

Btw i dint make my cape gold JUST for my Paragon, im not leader and it was already like that when i joined

Thx.

Just mix different dyes.
Try combinations like: orange+yellow+silver

it is possible by mixing different dyes together, yellow of course being one of them how ever, different armors will dye differently.

what may look gold on one armor may not look gold on another.
its all a matter of trial and error till you get what you want

Orange+yellow+silver worked for me when I dyed my Paragon's armor, but I think a simple orange+yellow works fine. Silver makes it look a bit pale.

If your current armour is already dyed and you don't want to experiment on it, then go buy one piece of really cheap paragon armour.

test dye mixes till you think its close then apply to the armour if it looks good repeat on your own armour.

What looks a good gold for one person may not suit another.

Why would he need to do that? The dye preview window works just fine...

On the subject of silver, silver while it tends to desaturate things - Also adds a slight "shiney" effect to the texture (even cloth). I've always found it to be a fair trade.

Yellow is extremely close to 'gold'

On some armors, I've found yellow + purple makes a nice gold (while orange + purple made a nice copper-y color). This was back before they changed the dye formulation, so don't know if it still works that way.
