All you do is permently sacrifice the dyes into it, so they can never be taken out, and now it's storing counts (0-63) of each dye, and that'll take up less storage then even one item.

it's still data that you would have to be carrying around on your person, because that's the way they set things up. and they're very cautious about how much data is attached to your character because it has to be lugged around everywhere you go. that's why there's no "personal inventories" or "special storage" with extra data like like numbers and whatnot beyond what we have in like the currency tab.

Why would you carry it on your person, there's no need.

You stick it in the armour with other long term storage items, things that get left behind when you sever visit or data center visit.

I actually use a fair bit of Mole Brown when toning in with other things, but it costs all of 40 gil to buy another one from the junkmonger so they're not worth hanging onto.

Even Metallic Orange has its occasional uses, but not enough to keep them on hand. Sell it on the marketboard and then in the future you'll use the same money (more or less) to buy a new one.

I'll see your metalic orange (worked good on glasses and monicles, oddly enough) and raise you metalic RED.

No, either give us a currency like tab for that or let us unlock ALL dyes at an npc, then i dont care throwing it away... Or let us craft ALL dyes so we only need to keep base colors and create what we need...

What if we could use pigments as a dying currency for normal dye colors instead of a crafting material?
We could use mixtures of 2 or 3pigments to dye things a particular color (that isn't in the Special category. The Restoration dyes and terebinth could be moved to Special as well).
They could keep Red, Yellow, and Blue pigments, remove Green, Orange, and Purple, and add Black/Darkening and White/Lightening pigments/agents.
Existing normal dyes could be replaced with "Pigment Packs" for specific colors, giving the combination of pigments for that specific color.

For example:
To dye something Iris Purple, the user would need: 1 Blue Pigment, 1 Red Pigment, and 1 White/Lightening Pigment.
If you have an Iris Purple Pigment Pack, you can use it to add those pigments to your Pigment Menu.

If you wanted to dye something Pastel Pink, you would need: Pastel Pink Dye.

I have thought about something like that as well, Mimilu. In general, the idea that we could just group up non-premium dyes into broad colours. So, for example, "red dye" can make every dye in the red colour (except maybe the Ishgard ones). I get some dyes are an ARR beast tribe reward... so just give them something else, or make it so you can buy the base dyes from them or something. If they simplified the dyes, they could just move them to the part of your inventory where crystals go, since the data would be pretty light.
