I’ve got all the armour I want, and i’ve got a flame themed mesmer (Torch and Sword), but i’m unable to find a dye I like for the main colour. I use Flare for the gold trim and Midnight Ice for the Straps, but whenever I find a colour that’s sort’of alright, something about it’s a bit outputting.

I’ve tried; Midnight Ice, Indigo, Heirloom, Black Cherry, Charcoal (Current)

Anyone got any idea’s?

Try using more than one color (but use colors of the same hue) to make them match. Keep in mind that different materials will have different properties when dyes get applied to them. Use that to your advantage.

If I were you, I would go to the trading post and preview every single color until you find something that you like. That’s what I usually do anyway ^^

The problem with that is it doesn’t always apply to the right area’s that you want. If it’s the main color, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but in some cases, it doesn’t dye properly.

An example is the Medium Caudecus’ Manor Helm. This helm has one dye slot but does not get dyed in the preview panel unless the dye you want is in the third dye slot, not the first.

Yes that’s true. But if the issue is finding a color that fits the other two (and it is for the main color I belive?), then it might still be an idea.

I guess if it was my character, I would try to have two of the colors somewhat close to one another colorwise and let the third color work as a contrast.
(As an example, midnight ice might look good along side a dark blue or green color and flare might look good next to pyre or molten.)

Just a thought. I would still preview first ^^

It does work, It only changes the main colour of my fabric which is pretty handy the way it’s set up, I just…I can’t explain it, I have actually been through all the dyes, but It’s more a case that I don’t know what’d go best with the flames. I was thinking a darker red but then everything blends into it. Heirloom has a nice amount of detail coverage whilst being dark, but it’s still a bit…Odd.

I know the feeling if it’s any comfort. I can spend hours trying to find the perfect blend and sometimes it ends up being very different from my original idea.

Salmon Oxblood Cherry Lifesblood are all deep red, they aren’t popping red’s, though.

Tried out those, didn’t hit my fancy, i’m about 40 gold away from Rodgort, so I can probably find a suitable colour once i’ve got that sorted anyway. =o
