Q: How do you mix dye?
A: You must double click a vial of dye and apply it to another vial of dye to get a new vial labelled "mixed." [HINT: Applying one color over another color on an item will NOT mix the colors, it just applies the new color as if there was no color already on the armor.]
Q: Does mixing dye with dye remover produce a different color?
A: No. If you mix dye remover with dye you will have a slightly transparent color, so you will see the original (undyed) color of the armor through the new color you applied. [HINT: That's why people think it makes a new color, but it depends on the original (undyed) color of the armor.]
Q: Does it matter what order I mix the dyes?
A: It does not matter what order you mix 2 dyes. However, if you want to mix more than 2 you need to know how the mix happens. Each time you mix dye, it treats it as 2 dyes and you get the result based on which 2 you mix. Therefore, if you mix Silver + Yellow, then add Orange, then add Silver again, it will not look the same as if you mix Silver + Yellow, then mix Orange + Silver, then put the two mixed dyes together.
Q: Why does the same formula produce a different color than I expected, or a different color on me than it does on my friend? [Armor only. Not including Chaos Axe, etc.]
A: The dye will look different depending on the material it is applied to. Imagine putting dye on cloth, silk, leather and metal. It will have a different appearance on each of these materials.
Q: Does it matter which color I double-click on and apply to the other?
A: From in-game testing, applying Yellow to Green or Green to Yellow looks exactly the same. (Lime Green) I have seen no evidence that using one color first has an effect except when mixing more than 2 dyes. (See question above)
I hope this helps everyone understand dyes. I like all the posted screenshots of experiments with colors on different armor types. It would be nice if some more experimentation was done to find other colors. There is no need to dye complete sets for experimentation, but try to pick something with a large dye-able area so the color is easily seen.

Note: 'glowing black' means your axe is basically white with a very bright yellow/orange glow (see screenshot).
