Guild Wars 2

Yes even Celestial is not really white. True white color hex code is #FFFFFF.
Celestial however is #D3D0CF and #C5C1C0 on heavy armour.
Which are not even close to true white as even #EEEEEE is much brighter yet contains a bit of Black in it.

However those who have Shadow Abyss Dye can take a load off, as that dye is indeed “Black”. Black hex code is #000000 and Shadow Abyss is #000000 on all armour classes.

So yeah as much as it may pain some people there is no real white dye in the game atm. And I know this isn’t really important, it’s just a fun fact I wanted to share.

This makes sense, I’ve always found it a bit annoying when even celestial does not come out white enough on many armors, I guess this explains why.

’ making it appear whiter than any other ’

We need shades

I just tried it on the new ice crown. Celestial dye, that is. In the light its a bright white, but when a slight shadow hits, it bevomes purple. Not dark or grey. Purple. So dyes arent absolute at all

if you need a more intense white try “Crushed Bone”

It has a little touch of yellow but on most surfaces will look like plain white and it is far more intense than celestial
makes some small textures on your armor disappear even

Interesting,

was going to say crushed bone as well. I found for the bandit outfit crushed bone is a much better choice for white than celestial. Seems overall crushed bone is better on all the things I used it on.

Blue Ice, Icing and Crushed Bone are my go to dyes for white

What bugs me is celestial white dye, vs. celestial white hair.

Would love to know how the OP got his data. Unless looking into the game’s code itself, there’s no way of properly getting the data.

Can also be tied heavily to your monitor’s coloring depending on contrast.

I recently changed monitors and on one of my characters was running a very sweet mixture of black and grey.

Turns out to most people, I was actually running black and… basically less-dark black and looked ridiculous the entire time.

wiki lists the hex data on the color articles

It would be a simple matter of taking screenshots and using the eye dropper in Photoshop. Your monitor will have no bearing on the actual hex values of the color

This isn’t accurate, though. Meshes, normal maps, and even texture filters on top of in-game lighting and effects like shadows and light source colors change the displayed colors based on environment and equipment used.

Unless you pulled up the colors from the game’s files itself, this is strictly inaccurate. If anything, the purest “white” will actually not be the one that looks so on the principle that light sources will most-heavily modify the displayed color.

The monitor comparison was meant at an aside to those making comments about what looks the “most white” being a perception of the user.

That is true but you need a base color.
You can get the color code (as already mentioned) from the wiki (right box)

for example Green Apple Dye the base color is
Cloth: #405612
Leather: #516328
Metal: #516328

There is a color API that gives data for every dye. So, you can get the game data without needing to do anything that might cost you your account. ;D

Thanks. I haven’t looked thoroughly at the API’s. Really surprised to see dye color there, though I guess it could be legacy from pre-wardrobe in case someone wanted to make a previewer.

True white isn’t good for your eyes. It’s why I don’t like this web page.
