Guild Wars 2

We can’t dye weapons and that’s probably not going to change, but for those of us who want a color-coordinated look, it would be nice to know which colors those weapons actually use. For example, the Viridian weapons (toughness) don’t appear to actually use Viridian Dye, there is no such thing as Citrine dye to compare to the Citrine weapons (precision), the Crimson weapons (power) don’t match the crazy expensive Crimson dye etc.

Any ideas on which armor dyes are the closest visual matches for Ascended weapons? I know Lt/Med/Hvy armors all show colors differently because of the different materials, but there has to be some way to at least get close.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to add a custom dye that allowed players to create a new dye color from rgb sliders. I imagine you might get to see this in the future as a gem store item or maybe from a high level crafting profession. If nothing else ANet could make a lot of money doing this.
