Which dyes best match Mesmer effects?
Shades of purple?

Nonono, you must mean pink because mesmers are very pink and butterfly and feminine, as shown by all the posts of people that don’t like our color scheme… RIGHT?!
Anyways, any color with the word Purple, Violet, Royal or Night in them tends to look good on a Mesmer. Lighter colors will compliment your skills, but deep/rich colors will make you feel like a Mesmer, at least in my opinion.
I find Midnight Ice to be the poor man’s Abyss. It’s pretty dark on cloth armor. In fact, it’s actually a bit too dark for what I wanted but I can’t find anything better. It also fades into a blueish gray on extremely light fabrics, which I find better than Midnight Fire.
As for purples, I run around with T3 Asuran cultural weapons so I use Glory to match them. Other possible colors are Grapevine, Heliotrope and Phlox.
If you’re more into pink/fuchsia, you can try Cotton Candy, Rose Breeze and Pastel Rose. They are all fairly cheap, last time I checked.
For white, I use Blue Ice, which is a poor man’s Celestial. It’s not quite white on most fabrics but I find it works remarkably well for lacy trimmings.

There are a lot of White supplements and they all give a different look. I personally don’t like Abyss and Celestial as they are just “one color” no matter what (although they are gray on certain [parts of] clothes). Using dark and light supplements can give you different feelings to a piece of clothing. I use Midnight Ice as the main color of my clothes, but I could easily use a different deep color like Heirloom (although that’s red) or Royal Purple/Midnight Violet. For the lighter colors, I like to use colors like Mithril, Rose Tint, Pastel Winter/Ice, Winter Ice as they all give a different feeling.
Mithril gives a used clothing feeling. Rose Tint gives a similar dull effect.
Pastel Winter/Ice and Winter Ice give a very vibrant white effect, similar to Celestial (not quite as white, though).
I have my Mesmer wearing Nightmare Armor which is dyed Royal Purple, Midnight Wine, and another purplish color I can’t remember the name of. I find it really complements the theme color of Mesmers which is kind of a magenta color. I would say that if you’re going black, don’t overdo it as that’s more of a necromancer thing. Sticking to black as a trim would be okay IMO.
I really like Indigo for a dark purple type color, glory from the starter colors is also a nice light shade of purple for mesmer. I don’t use pinks, but hey to each their own.
I like pride, and orchid and karma
Thanks guys. I do indeed use Midnight Ice for my “black”. (I found it my first week when I was clicking everything I found to see what it did.) I use Shy Violet for the metal effects.
I kept trying to change dyes inside a Chaos Storm for accent color to see what matches but just am not that talented at quickly changing dyes. I think I’ll give Phlox and Pride a go. In all likelihood this will just become another thing I tweak endlessly, like my build. Just trying to nail it because I finally got a full set if Khilbron’s and suddenly Care very deeply about my armor.
