Q:
Vibrant, Leather and Metallic Dyes
A:
Hi
What’s the differences between Vibrant, Leather and Metallic Dyes, beside the price?
Thank you
The difference is the behaviour on different fabrics. Though the end effect is very different for each dye, the basic mechanic behind it is the same. Vibrant dyes are really dependant on the fabric. Leather will always result in a leather-kinda look, even on non leather fabrics. and same goes for metallic on non metallic fabrics. However, where gold dye on cotton looks a lil bit shiny, it is still much more shiny on metallic fabrics.

It is my impression that the difference is that metallic dyes are named/inspired by the natural colors of different metals like bronze, copper, tungsten etc…. the leather dyes are named/inspired by colors seen on leather and Vibrant encompasses everything else.
I think also they “take” on the different armor materials differently. The metallics will have more luster on Heavy armor, for instance.
