Guild Wars 2

I was thinking it would be productive to create a thread on what dyes appear the best on which armor. Winterday colors are obviously red, white, and green and the different armor types are light, medium, and heavy.

If you want to attach a photo and list the armor type (In case anyone is new.) and the colors used that would be great!

As for actual colors.. Celestial and Scarlet/ruby.

burgandy was fine on light armor as well

HoM light armor (almost). Colors: Autumn (red), Jalapeno (green) and Tea jeans (blue)- all from starter set.

instead of red/green/white, i’ve opted for the silver and gold look. though my ‘silver’ is actually white gold and i’ve paired it with illumination.

White: Celestial
Red: Lifesblood
Green: Jalapeno

Light armor

Skull Masque
Whispers Garb
Arah pants

Dyes
:Evening grass
:Red (all but hat)
:Ruby(hat)
:Celestial

I prefer Spruce (actually considered a blue hue even though it looks more green to me) and Celestial. I’m not a fan of red so I like just going with a green and white theme. I wear Stately armor (you get it from heart karma vendors in Timberline Hills in PvE) and it looks stunning. Actually, any deep, vibrant color plus Celestial looks stunning on that set.

I used:

- Autumn
- Jalapeño
- Matte

I went with something more winter-esque and something more christmas-y :)

First one looks Great!

Dont have a screen to back it up, but

Red (ofcourse)
Celestial (bright white)
Scarlet (red)
Winter dyes
Illumination (gold)
Kelly (green)

If you’ve only the original to use, Autumn and Jalapeno with Light Gold for accents should work.

can’t go wrong with green/red/white

Leprechaun makes a nice Green too, and if you just have the starter set you can use Matte for a nice-looking Silvery-White on metallic materials.

I’ve used the Heritage Light Armour with the mask from the Masquerade set with burgundy, blue ice & antique gold dyes. I kind of wish festival items worked with armour, like the outfit options in GW1, rather than being relegated to town clothes.

Brick dye is good for a red, I think it’s pretty cheap as well (only tried on light armor profs)

I do: Brick+Celestial+Limette
