Today, when transmutating some higher level boots to give the look of the Frayed Cloth Shoes inkeeping with my character’s look, the Ebony colour on the boots were reset to “Dye Remover”.
Going through all the dye colours I had, Ebony dye was the only one that gets reset to dye remover on the Frayed Cloth Shoes when exiting the window after setting the dye colours wanted.
