Redditor Colbymg collected 10,000 unidentified dyes, opened them, and recorded the drop rates for each color
The tl;dr
- Rare Dyes: 10.28%
- Masterwork Dyes: 18.01%
- Fine Dyes: 71.71%
That data is available at GW2 Profits (the website maintained by the author).
Additional notes of interest:
- The price of unID dyes has been consistently higher than the expected value of the contents — like other lotto-style rewards in the game, people expect to be luckier than average and are willing to pay more for the chance of getting Abyss etc on the cheap.
- The actual distributions are uneven. Fine dye drops varied from 24 to 55, so there might be an additional nuance to the drop rates.
- Some dyes are worth substantially more to salvage and this can vary considerable during the day or the month.
Thanks to Colbymg aka our very own Mystic.5934 for spending a lot of coin and time to bring us this data.

BL chests always had a UniDye for a common drop, it’s just now it’s a lot more and guaranteed.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
