Dye problem

I am a Necromancer primary and I've been having problems dying myself the same color. I go with regular boots and leggings, but my chest, arms, and face(obviously face) are the scar patterns. My problem comes to the face scar pattern. When I dye it purple, it is turqoise. When I dye it green it turns purple. The rest of my armor dyes to exactly the color I used. I have tried using a dye remover on the face scar pattern before using any dye, too. I have tried mixing and matching 2 colors at a time. Dyes are kinda rare, so I don't want to continue wasting them. I'm not rich like all other level 20s seem to be.
Mixing worked once with some lower level armor so I didn't worry about it until I got my 1.5k armor, but why should I have to mix and match to get BLUE? or GREEN? I think I ended up using blue and it turned purple. So I fine tuned it with a lighter color and it ended up blue by chance.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is it just necro primaries? -gulp- Is it just ME?!?
Any input would be great.

i tried red on the face scar pattern and got a light blue, i was thinking of tryin blue to get red, but i am not fond of wasting dyes either

The only thing I can think of is that the face scar patterns start out with a certain default dye color. However unlikely that may be, I can't think of anything else. Maybe they decided to make Necros "different" and "special" in an annoying way.
Now I wonder if any other character classes have this problem.

May be unrelated, but my necro currently wears tormentors armour. FYI, if you didnt know this comes in green from the crafter.

I had a spare silver dye lying around, so I wanted to see what it would look like on my armour. Wore it for a while, but decided it wasnt for me. I bought a dye remover, and used it on the dyed part, expecting it to do what it is supposed to - remove the silver, and return it to green. What was unexpected though was instead of returning to green, it became red...

I then bought a few more removers, and used them on the undyed pieces of armour, and they also turned red...

It seems some armour can be crafted pre-dyed. It also seems that dye remover is also a cheap way to dye yourself red (at 50g per shot instead of what some people sell it at )

that's actually quite realistic and I'm shocked the developers thought deep enough into it. Your skin has pigmentation...unlike clothing. Dye reacts differently to the pigments in your skin. Have you ever gotten a tattoo? the color of the tattoo is never the same as the color of the ink before it's applied.

Dye remover works very similarly to bleach...it removes color but doesn't return the clothing to it's original color(unless ofcourse the original was white). Ever thrown a blue shirt into the washing machine with your whites by accident??? it'll come out a pinkish-redish color depending on the deepness of the blue.

If you go to the PvP character creation the same thing happens there for necromancers. The colours are set up going default, red, yellow, blue, green and purple. They seem to register as the colour to their right.

Yes its like dying a chaos axe, if you dye it using a RED DYE , it will turn BLUE.. If you dye it BLACK, its BRIGHT WHITE, if you dye it BLUE it turns red..

Kinda like your face :P SO DYE IT THE OPPOSITE COLOR u want =]

Hench the chaos axe being chaotic in coloring =P

Like someone already mentioned, fiddle around with the colours in PvP creation mode. That's what I did, to see what the types of armour looked like as well as where the dye was applied and what colours they turned out to be. I think it only shows fairly basic colours though.

Yeah, I just dyed my face yellow and it turned hot pink. This has to stop!

Glad to see other people have the same problem. I will definitely try out my colors in character creation mode for PvP before applying dyes in game. Thanks for the tip.
