Outfits randomly revert to original colors
I have noticed this as well. This seems to happen every time I change maps or leave a tonic transformation.

To me it only happens when I change between two outfits. Then, after a map change or transform, the colour reverts to the default. I only noticed that since the Halloween patch. I’m not sure if it also occured before I acquired the “Hexed Outfit”.

Outfits have NEVER retained their dyes. If you change Outfits, the one you removed will revert to its default. If you switch between Outfits a lot, you will have to get used to re-dying. As far as I know, ANet has never acknowledged this is a problem.

Just to clarify, we’re not talking about oufits reverting to default when they are switched, which is not really a problem, but while they are still being worn.
Happens to me when I change maps. Everything was fine until I got the Hexed oufit using candy corn cobs; I haven’t experienced a problem with the Hexed outfit itself, but I then purchased the noble outfit from the gemstore and it just won’t retain the colours I set it to. Every time I wp the oufit has reverted to default colours

^This. It’s a bit difficult to explain an I can see I wasn’t clear in my previous post…
When I choose a new outfit and dye it, it keeps the colours until I WP/change map/reload the character in any other way. Then it resets to default.
When I dye the outfit again after that reset, it keeps it’s colours. And that always happens after I switch to a different outfit – it just doesn’t keep its colour on the first dye attempt. So it’s not about the normal reset to default when switching the outfit, but about not retaining the colours after dyeing it.
This happens to me as well, I think it happens when you swap to any other outfit then logout, upon login, even if you changed back to the original outfit before logging out, all dyes will be removed.
Hopefully outfits will be able to retain dyes upon swapping and relogging soon.
