Gold Dye?

Whatever you do, don't mix yellow with dye remover... * *

No, you get gold by mixing 4 black potions together (Laughs as ultra pricey black dye prices go through the roof after the supply dwindles from wasting them this way...)

How, exactly, is Orange yielded? Is it a "Base" color? Or can you obtain it via combination? And what, exactly, is Silver doing? Is it adding "shine" to the color, or is it simply lightening it? What does Yellow+Orange+Yellow yield? What about if you mix THOSE with silver? What about TWO silvers, and a yellow?

theres pretty much alot of combos / interpretations w/ dye mixes.

i only hope anet/gw can actually update the dyes and identify each mixed w/ actual names on it so theres no fuss on what's real and what's not.

Orange is a base color.

Anyone tried selling Gold Dye for profit?

it's easier just to farm

When there are numerous 'types' of gold that work differently on various types of armour it's not really worth the hassle of sitting in trade and providing 'after sales service'.

Can anyone confirm the following formula as being for gold armor?

(Yellow+Silver) + (Orange+Silver)

I've yet to see what this yields- it would make for an interesting experiment. Mix yellow with silver to get bright shiny yellow, then mix orange with silver to get birght shiny orange, than mix bright shiny orange with bright shiny yellow to get shiny gold.

Orange is not a base color. Yellow and red make orange. Look at a color wheel...Jeez.

Yes I'm a Geek and proud of it

It is a base color in GW, because you don't have to mix dyes to get it...Jeez.

Just tried it, it gave me a dull bronze not a gold.

Overall it's just easier to make a sample and test it on a piece of throwaway armour. I keep a cheap 150g set around for such a purpose.

To stay on topic, I've tried the y/s + o/s mix on a Pyromancer set. It's a dusty uh, darkish yellow. I'm sure that translates to gold on Platemail, or some other metallic armour piece. Just doesn't quite work for armour that's very powdery looking to begin with.

good idea about the test armor... maybe I'll do that. can I salvage dyes out with dye remover? what is it used for?

Dye remover simply removes the dye

purple green and yellow gives me gold.

why?

I played around with this. yellow on platemail looks yellowish. yellow+dye remover on CLEAN platemail looks alot more like gold (to me)

I have found that adding a dye to dye remover, then using that mixed dye on an already dyed piece of armor will add the color you mixed with dye remover to the current dyed color

Playing around with the Color Mix program (see attached image) the mix that closest resembles gold (imho) is orange + yellow + yellow + blue.

A quick explanation of the image. The top bucket is orange + yellow. The row under that is orange + yellow + the color from the bottom row (far left is orange + yellow + red, next to that is orange + yellow + blue, etc). And the middle row is the same as the top row, but with two yellow instead of one.

Of all these orang-y/yellowish colors it seems that the one right above the blue bucket is the closest to gold.

Of course I have no idea how accurate that program is and I fully realize that applying said colors on armor will probably yield completely different results, but might be an idea to try anyway.

Personally, I think I'll just stick with green armor.

I got what I consider to be gold from mixing 1 Green- 1 Orange- 1 Yellow.

Here it is on my Mesmer's top.

hmmm i like that one will give try cheap too

That's a kind of sickly gold.
