Yanked this from another post. It explains Light mixing as opposed to paint. You can not mix to get black with light, like you could with paint.

Lol, you think you need to be a geek to know that? I learnt that when I was 7, mate.
So I guess that makes you stoopid on two accounts

That little light tutorial is wicked. So Guild Wars dye works as light and not paint? Makes sence then cos I seem to get bright purple when I mix colours that should so not produce it lol.
If Guild Wars would just sort the dye out now, it's be perfect. Cos blue and yellow, light or paint... does NOT make green. *pout*

They have green dye? And I would be happy to give you some cause you Avatar has pretty eyes. Or, am I missing your point?

you can buy regular orange dye from a dye trader. Silver can either darken or lighten a color. I mixed silver and purple together and it looked dark in the vial. When I applied it to my hydromancer armor it turned out a lighter purple with shine.
Lighter than regular purple dye. So just try diff things and see what happens.
They have green, yellow, blue, red, purple, silver, black...a lot of the colors you would find in a crayon box.
That's very true... it makes a yucky greenish blue ish looking color. I know when I would mix my own paints there was a certain amount of other colors you would have to add to get a greener than green color. But mostly...only use a drop of blue in a puddle of yellow...then it makes an ok green.

Silver is essentially "white".

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I got what I believe to be a perfect gold from yellow + silver + yellow. Looks fine to me.
TopGun
The Mesmer looks good, but I'm just curious- why'd ya add green?
d4nowar
Because it gives a color shimmering effect that is really nice.
My 15k enchanter's armor for my female mesmer has Green into Purple, and then that mix into Orange.
From different angles you can see different colors coming out into the open and it draws tons of attention to that. After I did it I was just running around in different light trying to find cool angles.
So here is mine.
In that pic you can see a little bit of purple and green showing, and It is slightly darker than the Mesmer a few posts up.
Personally, I'm incredibly happy with that color. The shifting shades of colors makes it incredible.
EDIT: In that light the top looks golder than the legs. The legs look pretty orange-ish there. Just shows the varying power of my combo.

That green-yellow-orange mesmer armor... if this were additive mixing I'd recommend another yellow to the mix... but subtractive? so far, still confused...

It sounds expensive, but Black Dye + Dye Remover might do something cool like that. I wouldn't want to waste the money if it didn't though...
ecto bomb
i dyed my necromancer 15k armor gold just for the heck of it combo is yellow+orange+silver i believe, and gold also matches my guild's cape XD

Is the effect of mixing with dye remover that you inverse the color?
It'd be nifty if it was the case. Real nifty. Because it means one can get white dye.
Think I'm gonna have to buy myself something cheap and try.

There are many kinds of Gold, I like the one with 1 Orange, 2 Yellow and 1 Silver 
That's a real Gold It also differences on what armor you place the Dye off course, not every Gold is nice on every armor.

Ok, downloaded a dye chart from somewhere and this is how I read it.
Mix orange+silver
Mix yellow+silver
Mix orange/siler+yello/silver
now have shimery gold due to the silver.

Cost me a couple of plat, but I've checked, and mixing with dye remover seems to do nothing at all. Doesn't even seem to make the color lighter.
Applied on gladiator armor, orange + silver is orange (or really a sort of brown). Yellow + silver is yellow (and fairly gold-like).
Silver, on it's own, is grayish, but not shiny, and I suppose not unlike white paint.
I admit I'm a bit disappointed by the result.

Just so you know, you get a slightly green outline and hue around the armor components anyway when using the 15K Mesmer Enchanters armor. Mine is dyed all black but in certain area where the light is just right, it still has a slightly green hue. I don't think your green dye had anything to do with the effect you're getting, its just a bug in the 15k armor.

This is my Warrior with Drok's Plate and a Crimson Carapace Shield. Originally, the armor had a blue color. I dyed it and the shield all red and was very disappointed in the results…it looked more like a maroon of sorts. I then used dye remover on the shield and all armor pieces. Below is the result, a fairly nice gold color.
I then used several gold dye combinations with the following results:
On the Boots I used the (Silver + Yellow) + (Yellow + Orange) combination.
On the Leggings I used the (Orange + Silver) + (Silver + Yellow) combination.
On the Gauntlets I used the (Yellow + Purple) + (Yellow + Silver) combination…remember using opposite colors supposedly yields a brownish color.
The Shield and Cuirass I left alone for comparison.
On the Helm I used the Orange + Silver combination only.
All of these can be seen below.
This time I used dye remover to return everything to normal and then used several other gold dye combinations with the following results:
On the Boots I used the Purple + Green + Yellow combination.
On the Leggings I used the Orange + Yellow + Green combination.
On the Gauntlets I used the (Orange + Yellow) + (Yellow + Blue) combination.
On the Cuirass I used the Green + Purple + Orange combination.
The Shield and Helm I left alone for comparison.
The results can be seen below.
I’m still not very happy with any of these combinations. In my opinion, the dye remover yielded the closest (and cheapest) gold color. I have seen some brilliant gold armor in game. If anyone has a better combination and pics for gold plate, please post.

I mix it with Yellow + Silver + Yellow... looks great. And yes the second yellow does make a difference.
Van the Warrior
its green + orange then + yellow its the truest gold and the cheapest
Sleet
My mesmer dyed silver + yellow + yellow + orange.

OK, this time I used dye remover to return everything to normal and then used three more gold dye combinations with the following results:
On the Boots and Helm I used dye remover only for comparison.
On the Gauntlets I used the Yellow + Silver and then Yellow combination…ok, but kind of light.
On the Leggings I used the Green + Orange and then Yellow combination…not bad.
On the Cuirass I used the (Green + Orange) + (Yellow + Silver) combination…Finally a Gold I like!!!

Color It Red
I am still confused. I'll go for green + orange + yellow.
Sleet. JW, What armor (the dress) is that? (And nice mesmer.)

Don't think anyone has said yet, but for my armor I used:
Yellow +Silver + Yellow
Which creates this colour:
Yellow +Silver + Yellow
Which creates this colour:
IceD'Bear
Silver+yellow+orange+green is my fav gold color. Use another orange instead of silver on very bright armors.
wolver1ne
Yellow+Blue for Necromancer Collectors Armor.
lg5000
Yellow + Silver + Orange + Silver on my monk.
It does reflect gold, though for the most of it, it looks like a beige colour.
.
Oh.. I love the necro armor there, nice colour.
