Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

So yea I’m slightly embarressed about this post but basically I’d prefer to ask on here than bring friends or whatever infront of my PC screen and constantly ask what colour is what.

I was looking at buying some dyes and I thought they would be labeled by thier colours (White, black, etc..) but some have funky names like Midnight or Celestial and stuff. Now to me Celetial and Abyss look white and black respectively but I can never be sure. I’m worried I might be running around with pink and purple on lol.

Can some one give me a list of which colours are

Brightest White -

Darkest Black -

Sky Blue -

Oxford Blue -

Primary Red -

Shiny Gold -

Dull Gold -

That would really help me out, since I won’t waste my money and potentially look stupid

And on a side note, I just got the dye ‘Evening Wine’ and I have no idea what colour is is lol, is it black or like a dark deep red?

Many thanks from a slightly embarressed Warrior

Evening Wine should be more in the dark purple range (moving towards the red spectrum).

This might help you a bit – you will be able to tell in what direction it goes and determine how the colours become darker. At least approximately as there is typically one dye that has the actual colour name in it in the range.

The colours change according to what material (of armour) they are used on. Sorry, can’t really answer the specific questions without being in the game and having the dyes myself.

Edit: Should say thanks to Boojum who created this chart!

Brightest White – celestial without question

Darkest Black – abyss. midnight ice/fire are also popular choices for dark almost black

Sky Blue – lots of light blue choices.

Oxford Blue – I don’t know what oxford blue is.

Primary Red – something like scarlet or plain red. I really like black cherry personally but it’s darker.

Shiny Gold – butter (and butter variants), illumination

Dull Gold – white gold is my favorite

Brightest White – celestial imo. though it’s only a slight difference with regular white, but I’ve been switching them out on my armor and it looks slightly more whiter with celestial.

Darkest black – black….. but thats not the deepest black. for example midnight ice is very dark blue, but due to the slight blue glow over it more vibrant.

Sky Blue – pastel winter dye is closest imo.

Oxford Blue – blueberry blue or afternoon are closest imo

primary red – red

shiny gold – gold…..but keep in mind that with mettalic dyes the colour really depends on the fabrik of the armor. on metals this looks very shiny, but on cotton it looks very like yellow and you would have beenwasting money imo. Leather is in between them.

Dull Gold – Brash….. but see the remark bout gold above.

Evening wine: hmmm, the wiki doesnt have a picture of it, and there is no chat link avialable. so I can’t say more without an ingame link that it is a purple dye.

Awesome replies, thank you very much!

Those are the colours I will be primarily wearing so now I know what to look for I can buy with confidence lol
