Prismatic Dye removalFollow

Hi all,

My question is simply this, after having placed a dye on your char, can you remove it? I know you can change the colour with yet more dye, but i fancy removing mine and going back to the armor's natural colour.

Please post if you have any ideas at all.

No, it won't always do that. Otherwise, how would you dye slots white? Each slot has two boxes. The first box shown is the "original" color and you need to match that, true sometimes it is white, but sometimes not. Sometimes it is very hard to match the true "original" color, just as it is sometimes very hard to get a true pink, or blue or red, etc. Different pieces and materials dye much differently than others, and some will barely change color.

Just wanted to agree with Kelti here. At one point I dyed my armor dark blueish... I have since changed my items out several times in most slots, and I can't get item colors back. I simply dyed everything white, which for leather items that I wear as a monk, means everything is the brown leather look. Since dying it white I have switched my BP at least to something that should be dk blue in color, but it only shows as normal leather.

So yes, once you dye, that item slot will always be dyed, the only thing you can do is change the dye. Even if you match the item's color in the preview screen, if you ever upgrade, the new item will be dyed to the color you last switched to.

Fun eh? The cost of uniqueness, you'll never again see true armor colors.

Yes, you can dye white. I got my bazaar mule a nice set of bronze (cheap, very) and dyed it white, looks really cool (IMO). Of course bronze won't die a white white, so it is light gray but it looks nice.

White dye does not restore all items to their original color. Just most, which is why people are getting confused.

Example from my own experience: blood weave armor. Original color, rusty red with dark red ribbon trim. Dye it white, it overwrites the rusty red color. Now it looks sort of grey with gold ribbon trim.

On your dye pallate you'll see the original blood weave color swatch. To restore the color, you would need to manually match those color values with your new dye.

There you have it folks. If your item shows a white swatch in the left column on your dye palatte, applying white dye will restore the original color.

If your item shows a color in the left hand column, white will overwrite, not restore the item's original tint.

Thanks all i will try the manuall imput to 255, stay safe hunt well and see some of you online

So what were the results Yanari?

I tinkered with this over the weekend after reading this thread, this is what I found:

Setting all three to 255 will change the item back to its base color MOST of the time, but not every time. There were a few items that this didn't work on, but for most it did. Unless I forked something up, which is possible. Also I just changed numbers, I didn't actually get the dye and dye the slot.

Also noticed that for the item's natural color swatch (left hadn column), if you hold the cursor over the color square it will report the color settings, so you can replicate them in the right hand column. That should make it easy to manually input the numbers if you want to match your armor's natural color exactly.
