I just started playing recently again and was trying to dye my armor on my monk but it was dying incorrectly. This is what I ended up with, but not what I was going for.

This monk armor I got a very very long time ago. Did they change how this is dyed or what? Included a pic of my armor.

There was a thread about this a few months ago.

Your old armor dyes funny. If you're in to novelty rares like that to make people's heads turn, keep it. If not, you may have to play around with dyes to get the color you want, or get a new set of armor.

Yes, Obsidian Monk armor does dye oddly. The only colour I found that I liked was black - almost everything else looked goofy in some way or another. One problem is the 'flesh' coloured areas that don't dye and end up making many colours look ugly.
I always find it amusing when people whine about "monks with black Obby armor" - if they had some, they'd know that it's one of the few viable choices.

Yes, they changed the way dyes work about two years ago. What were you going for?
