My Guide to "White" Dye

As most of you know or have realized, White Dye does not exist naturally. This has led to many trying to find the formula and the sale of many at insane prices.
To be honest, there is no White Dye formula. It's actually more of a cream/ivory.

The "White" Dye formula is very simple:
Yellow + Silver + Silver + Silver
I cannot guarentee results. You'll just have to try it yourself.


It's actually more of a cream in-game, but it's as close as I can get.
I'll try to get a pic of my monk up, too.

Dye Remover is a gimmicky name. It doesn't really removed the dye, but instead seems to act as a Vial of Dye of the base color of the armor it is used on. So, if your armor has a yellow base [Ranger, most Monk, most Warrior], you can substitute the Dye Remover for the Yellow Dye in the formula.

Observations so far -
1] Rangers, cloth Monk, and Warrior armors usually attain a light ivory/cream color.
2] I have heard horror stories on how it looks on Necros. However, one reported that it looks fine on Necro Scar Patterns [armor, I believe].
3] Monk Ascetic's Armor turns out a very pale blue. How one gets it from yellow, I have no idea.

I have two requests:
1] Please spread the word.
2] Please post about your results, experience, and pics if possible. I hope we can gather a compilation of what dye formulas work for which dyes.

EDIT1: Added the White Dye Formula to the post.
EDIT2: Posted about the true effect of Dye Remover. Also modified the White Dye Formula.

It's for White dye, then mix 1 yellow with 3 silvers. Makes it glimmering white on most items

My brother would KILL for this recepie!!!

I don't think that you are a noob and I agree with you about ppl trying to steal the recepie.

Your best bet is to get some ppl you trust and spam the recepie in game at ascalon dists 1-3 and forge dist 1,2 and at all the gw forum sites on the community list of the GW homepage... I think I might like to get the white dye myself. :P

God bless and goodluck with getting the recepie out in a non-espianageal way to get the word out.

(btw you can bet your booty I won't "sell" your recepie. just in case you feel nice. )

The same dye is different on different outfits. 3 silver and a remover probably makes mesmer attires just grey or light green. There's no universal formula for white in GW, or even something coming close to it.

Depending on the base color of the armor, adding 1 silver into 1 dye remover (creating mixed dye remover as opposed to mixed dye) also creates white.

Does anybody know how to get dye to look well on Memsmers? Almost every type of dye is a bit different on them.

I can confirm that Yellow + Silver + Silver +Silver = White on 15k Druid's. I think the results were really, really simliar with just 2 silvers. I don't have pictures, but that's because I didn't like how it looked so I overrode it with Yellow + Green instead I mean, ya don't exactly go kicking butt in jungles in white clothes. They get dirty. No ajax would take care of that.

That's a lot of silver, would take a lot to make this 'white' dye.

Told and guildie and he tried it out, it does look white, but not true white. But its very close to say the least.

there is no white dye on the guild wars dye color spectrum, no matter how many scammers say selling white dye, its just some combonation of silvers

so 1 silver and dye remover is the same,
as 3 silver and dye remover

And just out of interest, if you put a silver + dye remover combo on the warrior dragon armour (15k), you get purple

I update the post with the fact the Dye Remover seems to at as a Vial of Dye of the base color of the armor you use it on. So if you were to use it on Mesmer green armor, Dye Remover + Silver would get you a light green, while Dye Remover + 3 Silver would get you a paler green.

Before you splash out remember, it depends on the armour type. What might work on ranger armour might not work on platemail etc.

Ok i have decided tongiht i am going to try evertying i can think of to get my platemail "white"

im thinking so far

yellow + silvers

silvers + dye removers

purple + yellow = brown then loads of either silver or loads of dye remover

and last of all if all else fails

black + silvers
black + dye removers

(if anyone has tried it with blacks please let me know before i waste my money, which i dont have much of).

Black + silver(s) = grey...

so how on Earth do you think black produces any sort of 'white' I'm not sure... don't waste black dyes.

Heck you may as well give them to the more needy, namely me

On 15k droks warrior <Platemail, namely> since it comes blue, you just need to word color wheel scenarios over blue to produce white. I've seen it done before, the armor still was grey tinted though, not true white <you really can't, not on metallic armor> but you sure can try

Good luck, aron. Yellow + Silvers is your best best, although Silvers + Dye Remover might work.
Purple + Yellow normally results in a shade of magenta.
Don't bother with Black. Trust me.

Black will be the absolutly last resort, im starting with the yellows ect first.

I was thinking black + silver + silver + silver = v light grey

then somehow turning that grey into white, also i dont know how white/grey that combo would actually turn on on metal.

Also ive never tried multiple dye removers+silver ect on black.

but, i dont think i want to find out.

Also what works on plate wont work on my dragon, whatever i do i want to experiment with the chepo colours first.

I have a monk with a red base on her armor. Will Yellow + Silver (x3) make her armor white? I think it's judges armor, but I'm not really sure.

You guys know it's possible to mix silver + silver + silver + silver?

The way you do it, is you have a silver dye in your storage, then have someone trade silver to you.

Then you mix these 2 silver dyes together, then you buy additional silver dye and mix them together to get 4xsilver.

I haven't personnally mixed this dye before, but I've done it with different dye.
