For the dyes it’s very frustrating to have to get them at random by buying different dye kits that appear in the gem shop at random times.
Most games, I’ve played have had “colors” or as they are known in this game “dyes” are unlocked or can be made in game by players.
Perhaps have chef’s be able to make a bigger variety of dyes and have the dyes in the gem shop be less expensive and that players can buy specific “dyes” they want. The color swatch’s are a nice start.
The dyes chef’s make could be more complex needing base color dyes to make more and different colors, like with paint, primary colors making secondary and third tier colors.
