My quest for the perfect jade color has yet to continue.
Now, my journey has led me here.
The armor I wish to dye is Elite Druid Ranger Male.

All the combos I try are off-mint colors..
Anyone have recommendations/perfect combo?
Someone told me black dye with all 3 greens work?

I personally use a blue/blue/green - blue/green - or blue/green/green combination whenever i go for "jade looks". Try out each combination, see which one suites your armor best.

like, the blue ones always turn out as a minty color :/
green green green blue still makes a minty color
like the jade-green of this (obviously not the deep greens, or the bright whites)

Yeah but dye doesn't mix like that anymore (unless it does and I'm unaware of it).

On my assassin Blue + Green + Silver worked very nicely, although I know ranger armors often tend to go a bit darker than most.

try using paint program to see which shade of jade u like the when u find one save it , and then knowing what combo, when u get the right amount of right dyes, u can do it on gw without spending a lot on dye combo's, might sound like a silly idea, but just try and see how it goes ?? save urself some money = )

Wait, what?

@Op, maybe these. I wasn't quite sure which color you wanted from that pic, but I assume its one of the darker veins.

was just a suggestion, so to save ur self money trying out different combo's, but yeah u could go with darkflames idea , as shown in the pics just remember diffrent shades show up different on certain class armor compared to others, but good luck in finding what u want = )

There does seem to be a strange effect on some armours, My ranger has the armour from Droks I bought it before the change to the dye system.

I was testing dye to see if I could come up with a jade green.
Add green and of course you get green
Add a second green and you get a lighter green ?
Try Blue and Yellow and you do not get green

Because the dye works in such a mysterious way you have to just try everything.
Since Jade comes in various shades so there isn't a jade green as such apart from that named by paint manufacturers you might have to get a green you like and call it jade green.

Bring in a dye craftsman for gw2 where you specify an exact shade and then bring the materials and cash to get it mixed.
Adding a equal quantities of dye doesn't cut it any more so it needs an expert to mix the shades.

Pretty sure anet would like a money sink also pretty sure players would pay for exotic mixes.
