Yes, I know there are formulas for white dye
BUT THEY ARE NOT WHITE!

Silver dye gives me gray!

We need white dye that's actually white and not some yellowish gray!

Well agreed a White Dye would be nice, but to be realistic if such a feature would to be implimented then White Dye would become the new Black, it would become highly priced due to high demand, so not every player would be able to afford it. Many people have came close to replicating the effect of white dyes by using combos and mixes.

If you are still wanting a 'white' dye then check out this thread:

I'd like to see an actual 'white' dye; although, as mentioned, it'll become very expensive very fast.

It would be nice for a white dye, but as Aki said, those would become expensive very fast, and would cost +/- like black dyes, or black dyes would become more cheap, too bad there isn't many things we may do against that.

For those of you saying it would be expensive, thats only if ANET doesn't make it drop at a higher rate than other dyes (like people telling me how black dye drops less than other dyes)

Introduction of white dye would prolly drop the price of silver dye as well, bumpetibump.

And why shouldn't black droprate be same as other dyes? o.0?

Atleast I have looted some 20 of each other colored dyes, and only one black. And that was my first day in GW presearing at the launch :P

If Anet does put in a white dye, the price would depend on drop rate. Blacks don't drop often, thus the high price. If it'd dropped like a silver did maybe, it wouldn't get so pricey. It's the drop rates that cause prices. The same can be seen with materials and their drop rates. I would personally like to see a white dye that is really, trully white. I've gotten really close with mixes, and it does look white on maybe 2 characters' armors. But I would like something that was white across the board.

They should make it Bleach, and sell it for 50 gold like dye remover at the merchant.

^ I like that idea.

Other than that, I don't like the idea of another 10k mixer dye (as that is all black is to me presently; a mixer)

It would increase customisation possibilities and rather easy to make imo. And as for the price it all depends on the droprate Anet would set. Therefore:

I SAY YEA! I would love having white dye. I'd probably never use it myself, but,

A: It'd stop complaints of people who want it
B: If I ever do need it, it'd be nice to be able to buy it instead of going uber chemist and making some...

Just one problem, half the time, dye doesn't come out the color it's supposed to be anyway. If they make white dye, about half the armor you use it on probably won't even turn white. I'm still peeved that I wasted so much money on black dye for my 15k Luxon armor on my assassin just to turn it dark blue.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement and the drop rate should be comparable to silver dye.

I'm not sure if it affects anything but maybe you have to use a dye remover first? I don't know, it happened to me as well. try putting a yellow dye on a kindlerock-skin flame artifact and you'll see what I mean.

Would love to have some more dye colors as well. Don't make them rare, make all dyes common drops. It's just dye, they do nothing but dye armor and weapons. No need to make them rare and expensive.

I like the idea. However I would prefer that it is given as a reward for some kind of quest, not only by drops. Just like with the greens and the amulet of the mists.

After adding the white dye to the game there would be a "white wave" everyone would want to try it and the prices would go high, but i think after a time people will start to lose interest and the prices will stabilize

So i think its ok, white would be nice

You could say the same about orange.....red and yellow would do the trick. The point is it would be more expensive to have to mix to get those secondary colors. Having them already available makes them a lot cheaper.

I used silver on that armor and it looked white.

This colour can be easily remedied. Black Dye+Gray Dye=White Dye. Problem solved. Case closed.

it is imposible to make truely white dye, and that combination is most probally a light cream, also its too much trouble for most people, thus a white dye will be cheaper and more effective.
