Just to put her armor in the HoM. I got the last 2 pieces of her FoW finally

Shes got the OLD BLACK DYE. That should say how long ago I got it for her, well the HoM didnt dye her armor when placed. So just a warnig to others out there if you have old dye color on your armor.

The armor you dedicate changes colors from time to time. I have black dyed Primeval armor and when I go into my HoM sometimes it appears brown or red or black. I dont know what causes this but it is very facinating. Try going in and out of your hall a few times to experiment.

Sometimes my armors change colors according to what color the other ones are. I've put my elite Dragon (green), my elite Glads (was blue, now gold again, should check if it updated), and my elite Templar (red). Sometimes my Dragon is red, sometimes green, sometimes it goes back to the old default color for War armors, that yellowy color.

The HoM displays all armours with the same dye combination as the armour you are wearing (at least in my experience).

I'm guessing this messes up if you're using "old" dyes though.

The armors are coloured the same colous as the chest piece you are wearing when you enter the HoM

I've got an old red/orange dye colouring on my Ele's geo armour. It looks like the old default colour in HoM (ie that purple colour). I'm thinking that it just goes old default when it comes up against old dye colour.

On the plus side -- 4 black dyes will fix that right up for you

Edit: In the above shot -- the monky has black (albeit 'old black') chest piece armour on.

I dont like the new black dye

Yes I know about the color of the armors you wear when you enter as shown here.

now when you look at the one with the old black dye again you see the armors on HoM is different for the other armors too. Which could be the default color schemes.

EOTN armor would dye red with the "old" dye remover. And the other armors in this beige/light brown color.

Your black seems to be treated like old style dye remover!

It doesn't really matter since HoM doesn't record dye, just the type of armor. The purpose of the monument is not to show an exact replica of your gear but to act as a mechanism of unlocking (as of yet unannounced) benefits in GW2.

Same prob here, pre dye shiny metalic blue. The tards changed the setup overnight a long time ago without mentioning it. Just happenned to be that I bought 2 spare pieces (leg and chest piece) the next day and waisted 500k as I couldn't dye them in the shiny blue anymore and salvaged the pieces. Tx Anet, now give me back my 500k, because that's what I lost because of your bad communication about the topic.

Contacted support at the time (not about that 500k but about the dye setup), they can't do a thing for us it seems. And I don't see them fix the hall at this point either. We're a very very small minority.

Courage!

The armor is dyed the same color as the chest peice you wore when you last clicked 'view monument' In some cases(e.g with old black) the new dye system does'nt know how to re-create it so it defaults to the armor's 'natural' color. So in some cases old black mesmer FoW showed as green, for example.

Does'nt matter in the scheme of things, but it is a pain.

Try putting on new black dye if it matters that much.

Or use TexMod and change it y'self.

I've got the same issue with my Mesmer. I've got an Old-dye combo on her armor, but the HoM displays it with the default color. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a new dye combo that even remotely matches the color I've got. I'm very reluctant to change it since I'd never be able to get this color back.

Exactly, it's very unique. Playing 3 years now and I never encountered someone with the same colour as I have. That's something in a game like Guild Wars where customization is quite limited and where it's hard to stand out of the crowd.

armor color follow the chest piece, of what ever you are wearing when you enter HoM.

also you don't have to buy all 5 pieces to place armor in HoM, 4 is enough.

please read this if you are interested.

Same thing happens to my armors when I enter HoM with my Elite Kurzick dyed with old black. Old black ftw.

I know FoW monk looks awesome as charcoal black. That was the best thing about the old dye systems. So many combinations.

Its a problem with HoM though I dont think its a bug. That it doesnt work with the old dye combinations.

Personally, I wouldn't put "fow monk" and "looking awesome" in the same sentence.

No matter how you dye it, the model continues to look ugly. Swarms of black-dyed obsi armor monks aren't helping either.

I only wear my monk obsi during Christmas. It's dyed red and looks great with 1st year Yule Cap. Can't stand seeing it in any other combo.

You're for the most part but there is one main difference. There all wearing dark black doesnt make it look good. With how its dyed on mine it actually looks like real cloth.

I understand what you're saying. It's the reason I kept old black on my Elite Kurzick. The new black is way too dark and completely covers all the small details that make an armor look good. But, as far as monk obsidian armor is concerned - I find the model pretty ugly no matter what color it is.

Your black seems to be treated like old style dye remover!

I think black turns red as well. My EOTN armor is actually died black. At any rate, it's clearly a MYTH that HOM armor changes to the color of your chest piece.

Yeah, you're kinda screwed if you don't like the headpiece of a particular armor in that sense, you can add it to the HoM without it but the monument will still show it bright as day.

Same problem here as the op. When Factions came out, and my prophecies ranger got to the jade sea, I fell in love with the color of the jade. Went and bought elite drakescale and must have spent 30k in dyes until i found just the right mixture... and now it displays as base color in hom.
