Guild Wars 2

Hello, newbie player here. I recently bought some items from this set: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armageddon_armor#Set_pieces and was wondering why when I put it on, the colors were very dull. I believe the dye is Olive Silk. How come the colors aren’t as they’re shown (a metallic blue)? Do I have to unlock a specific dye and then apply it in order for it to have the colors that it shows? I think that’s pretty unfair if that’s the case. I spent over 100,000 karma on it and it gives me dull colors…

There’s 518 dyes in the game. You get a starter set at character creation and after that you buy or craft any others. The gear you get will have a standard, basic dye job. You’re supposed to dye it to your satisfaction after you get it.

Ah, I see. Is there a way to find out which specific dyes are on the preview outfit? For example, is there a way to find out which blue dye is on the Armageddon outfit? Because I’d really like to use those colors for it.

I don’t know. Sorry. I don’t think it’s a standard thing. Those pictures in wiki are often submitted by other players or fan sites and the colors chosen are what the fansite or player choose that they think looks good or that shows what the different dye channels cover. Maybe someone else can post and say what the colors in the pictures are.

What you can do is go to your dye panel, use the option to have the dyes arranged by color (the gear icon on top right of the dye panel) and then try out the different dyes on your armor. You can see what the different dyes look like even if you don’t own the dyes. They simply won’t actually allow you to accept the final stage.

Edit: for example this is the colors that the Dulfy site has

Alrighty. I appreciate all of your help!

the dye looks like it could be Midnight Ice to me, but I could be wrong

Had a play with it and Enameled Sky dye appears to be a pretty close match, but is super expensive (around the 200g mark).

Regal dye and Starry Night both seem pretty close too – they’re around 1g on the Trading Post.

Have often wondered the actual color used for the wiki pictures, really love that blue too.

This page shows the User that uploaded the picture; you could try posting on their ‘Talk’ page, and ask. They might remember/know.

Good luck.

Thank you all very much for your input!

Don’t have the game at hand to test, but I’m also pretty sure it’s an enameled, they have a distinct shine to them on metal.
