Pure White Dye

It's related to some armour sets after Darklight went dyeable getting the metallic shine when you dye them. DRG AF is one of them, hence why pure white turns into light silver as you say it. It's basically the actual pure white + metallic shine = light silver.

Until they put in some sorta option to allow us to say "Okay, I see you get dyed with a metallic shine by default but I'd rather you don't" that's sadly how it'll have to be :(

This was my biggest pet peeve about DCUO's glamour system. So many gear sets in that game had this exact issue.

I would be interested to see pure white on darklight actually, I may have to farm a piece to test it out and see if it matches the DRG AF.

Muzetta was correct, darklight also has this issue.

I still think there is a problem here, pure white should be just that, solid colours should be solid colours and metallic should be metallic. I wouldn't even mind if it was bright white with a metallic shine, but it's more like ash grey with a shine (if I had to link it to a non metallic colour).

Erm... I'm not really sure where people are getting the whole "this is white with a metallic shine" thing from. Surely people have seen metal things painted white? Like cars? Yes, from a distance a pale silver car and a white car can look the same but up close they're very easy to tell apart and the white would never look this dark a grey even under a dark shadow.

Considering you get INFINITE use of every dye in GW2.. it'd still be a bargain....

Buy it once, use it forever.... across ALL characters no less...

They actually introduced these metallic dyes because people where annoyed that dyes where changing the material.
I assumed black and white dyes would be matte and more metallic dyes would be added later.

I may have misunderstood what you were trying to say so please correct me if I did, but this isn't a metallic dye, it's pure white. If it was metallic it would say metallic in the name like "metallic gold" and "metallic silver" do.

I'd like to see some iridescent dyes come out as well.

My bad. I misunderstood your original post.
That is very strange. Would not be surprised it that was a mistake.
