removing dye?

[Crydee Ossiriand]

Anyone know if it is possible to remove dye from armour so that only the default color appears.

[Kaidian Blade]

Hehe. Saw some chat in ooc last night from folks asking this very same question. Seems that "Hot Pink" did not look like they thought it would.

[Larch]

Set it to white

Set the dye color back to white (255,255,255).

[Gnastassja]

Thanks for the answer Larch! Many folks were wanting to know on FV.

Or just hit reset on the dye window and it will go back to the natural color.

[Turlie Silverwine]

am I correct in assuming, though, you will need another vial if you have dyed it one color in order to restore it to its old color?

Green dyes.

Actually, once you have saved your new color, hitting reset will just bring you back to the saved color ... not the original one.

And using white just seems to remove ALL color, for example my Fire Vest and Shadow Legs ( used to be red / black ) are plain leather when using white as color ...

Hitting "reset" does not take you back to your original colors for your slot. Anybody know how to reset your slot back to the default color? **BEGS** please someone help those of us who want to remove the colors we've created!

I think you can try and match the left hand color to get back to the color it was before.

Try this...

Set color you want to remove to white. Save it. Take off the item that has a natural tint on it and re-equip it. Then zone and look at dye window again.

This put my default color for that spot back to what the items was.

I've never dyed any of my armor, so I'm not sure if this helps but, Lucy tells you the RGB value of any piece of armor. I assume you can just type in the correct value and change it back to the original color.

Then again, when you switch out armor, that dye/tint will still be in place and you'd have to type in the default rgb of the new piece.
Wish there was a way to just clear it out, maybe that'll be a patch coming soon?

Maybe a new recipie is in order here...

Dye your slot (255, 255, 255). This sets an armor slot as if it has never been dyed.

If you bleach your armor slot by choosing white (default white is 240, 240, 240 but a "whiter" white is 254, 254, 254) any armor you equip will be bleached (to the base color for that armor). If your current armor started with an undyed look, choosing white will appear fixed, but you will have a bleached slot, not a "never been dyed" slot, and any armor you equip in the future will not show it's proper color but always a bleached look.

If you dye the armor slot by matching the old color of your current armor (other than 255, 255, 255) it will appear fixed. But any new armor you equip in the future will not show it's proper color and will always be tinted by the color of your current piece of armor.

If you try taking off armor, zoning, re-equipping, or some combination of zoning and clicking armor in and out without actually dying it, your armor may appear fixed. But again, you will run into problems in the future when trying to equip a new item. And, I believe other people may not see what you see on your screen because this is a bug and not a true fix.

You will need a new vial to save your armor slot to a "never been dyed" look (255, 255, 255).
