i was wondering, you guys kow how the color wheel works right? like the absence of color is white and all the colors together is black. So what if u combine all the basic colors except silver or black, will the mixed dye look black?

No, as you will only be mixing four colors. It's not even close to a mix of all colors.

I beleive you are correct, it does seem to act more like combining light color rather than pigment color.

Light - All colors=white ; Absence of color=black
Pigment - All colors=black ; Absence of color=white

So if dye in GW works like light in real life, then why doesn't a mix of all the colors of dye make white?
