Does anyone know how to make WHITE dye?

If so, plz do tell.

Theoratically if white dye could be applied to a chaos axe it would turn black. So far (I and many others have tried and failed) to make white dye. I have experimented several times in an attempt at making white dye, I don't believe it is possible. Silver is the closest in the game at the moment.

Well, in the real world, white dye is impossible to make. There is however bleach . The dye remover isn't bleach however.

Then how is white paint made?

Mix the primary colors together.

Ever had one of those wheels where you spun it fast and it turned white?

Don't think it works in GW though.

There is no white dye. The closest you will come to having white dye in Guild Wars is by holding a vial of silver dye. Some people have speculated that due to the Guild Wars engine and to the glow effect, pure white would be a rather garish smear of blinding, rather painful.. well.. white.

If you do a search on this forum for "white dye" you may find a thread which has a screenshot with a female Mesmer wearing a completely white enchanters dress. The poster did not know how the dress was dyed, but it is very very white! So it must be possible.

I tried to do that for my Mesmer (female, with a 15K enchanters dress) by pre-mixing one yellow dye and 2 dye-removers. In the bottle, the color was orange-ish. But after applying it to the dress, I got a really great mint green that I am extremely happy with. I did this to the rest of her outfit and it looks great.

What I think happens is this: dye remover might either remove or partially remove a component of the dye that it is applied to (here I mean applying dye remover to a bottle of dye, not to an item). Or the dye remover is making the original dye partially transparent, allowing the background color of the original item to come through. In my case, the Mesmer dress was green, and so maybe I got this neat mint green due to the green showing through the transparent yellow. I noticed that I got a different effect when applying two bottles of dye remover to one yellow dye than when using only one dye remover (the effect becomes greater, I get more of a greenish result).

If you got the money, try playing around with dye remover + silver. Maybe more than one dye remover, maybe more than one silver. But the result may then depend on what the color is of the thing you are applying it to.

cheaper way to experiment with dye mixing (if you have the character slot) make a pvp-only character.

i attempted to mix dark blue at the other day, thought the blue + black will work. However, it became very bright, lighter blue instead.. I wonder if i apply black to a silver dye, will it be brighter too?

Crank up the Brightness and Contrast settings on your monitor - eventually you'll get white.

no, you will get a slightly darker shade of Silver.

Has anyone tried dye remover w/ black dye? I don't want to risk wasting money.

Thats true but it might be kind of hard to see with the background and everything else being white also.

As for my personal experience with white die...well one time in lions arch someone was trying to sell it, but when i asked to see it he ran away. And dont the three primary colors make black? im not sure

Actually, mixing the three primary colors makes gray if all are in even portions. So there's a bit of black and white in it.

Color from pigmentation and color from light work in different ways. Also, white and black are not "colors". As for navymrgoodbar, I'm pretty sure black is all the primary colors mixed in even porportions, while grey is black with white mixed into it.

ill give you guys the secret formula for white...since its so hard to sell at 5k (for profit)

black+silver+silver+green

This should be obvious but... the GW engine can handle white. We know this, because you can have white on your capes.

Why there isn't a white dye, I do not know. Might be something with the process of mixing various dyes which causes problems.

As I mentioned above in this thread, there was another thread which shows a female Mesmer wearing what really appears to be white clothes. So there has to be a white or white-appearing dye combination. Maybe a very very light silver?

Here is the screen dump from that thread that I am referring to. Do a "search this forum" for the topic "white dye" to find the original.

The mesmer dyed, looks more like a silver and light purple, like they took a bunch of silvers and through it into one purple until you got that screenshot.

I don't have to money to try that. Anyone tried that combo yet?
