Guild Wars 2

I have the sky dye, but I was wondering if there were any other alternatives for bright blue? I know it changes based on texture and I’m looking mainly to dye on heavy armor/metal. Thanks.

Open the set under “Colors” -> “By Color” → “Blue Dye”. It will show you all the colors, so you can compare them and see which you might be looking for.

Thanks. Will do.

That includes all the original dyes in a colorwheel-style mapping, with “brightest” colors in the center and blues are in the “southeast” corner.

However, the human brain perceives colors differently depending on context (what other colors are nearby) and how it’s displayed, among other things. Plus, GW2 renders colors differently depending on the material and some dye channels apply solid colors, some don’t. So, even when you find the ideal color, you’ll still want to do some trial & error testing — sometimes the “brightest” blue might turn out to be the second brightest violet.

That would be nice, if it was legible.

My poor eyes. q_q

hmm, I can’t read it either.

Sky is the brightest pure blue dye in the game. If you want something more metallic looking then you may want to use Blue/Sea/Winter Ice instead.

Winter Ice looks the best on my heavy armor in preview.

It also depends very heavily at what your monitor is set at for brightness, contrast, and hue variance. It’s one of those things where you just have to do it on your own computer to see. Blue to you might be purple to someone else, etc.

I don’t know. Sky looks almost aqua/turquoise on my monitor.

legendary armor dye, armor, quaggans, hills, dragons, npc’s and ui confirmed.. just pump up your monitor settings    \ >_< /

I don’t know. Sky looks almost aqua/turquoise on my monitor. I’d think there are others a little south on the chart that might ultimately be a brighter blue.

It is. I’m on a color calibrated monitor and Sky is definitely turquoise. Measuring it with the eyedropper tool in Photoshop confirms it too. Sky = 54R, 130G, 160B. So it’s definitely skewed towards green.

IMHO, Brook and Breeze are a purer blue than Sky, even though they’re skewed slightly towards green as well. There aren’t that many saturated dyes in the game, though I’m rather fond of royal blue if the darkness is ok.

That will zoom you in further and allow you to read the names

It’s more an issue with the contrasting colors.. but yeah, the font size doesn’t help either.

Probably Electro Blue [&AgHXBgEAAA==]

Which armor pieces are you trying to dye? The saturation varies a lot piece to piece.
