    I don't think any accesories can be dyed. I would love to see that as a future improvement, but the repercussions of that would entail unlocking at least the first dye channel to thousands of items, and it would impact dozens of systems, so 8.0 at the earliest for something like that.

    - Additional table to store dye data on characters and displays
    - Additional tables to store dye data on Glamours
    - Additional tables to store dye data on the Glamour Chest

    etc.

    Then multiply that times every accessory in the system, even the ones they won't make dyable.

    Then the graphics team would have to go into every single item and actually MAKE the dyable portions. The ribbons would be a good start. Going forward, things like the Savage accessories could have the dye channels added, or the upgraded tomestone gear.

    Another way I think they could do it is by making dyeable, level 1 glamour versions of certain accessories. That way, they don't have to make every piece dyeable, especially when nowadays all the roles' accessories are carbon copies of each other. (´・ᴗ・`)
    For example, instead of making all the Edenmete/Edenmorn/Origenics chockers dyeable, just make a level 1 dyeable version of them.
    They could also make special accessories (like from Wondrous Tails or the Mogstation) also dyeable.

    Thinking about it, I think another group of items that would benefit from having a dyeable version would be the level 1, gardening flower glamour items. (❀◕ ‿ ◕❀)
    They could make it a master craft and require 4-5 different none-dyeable versions as crafting material.

    Most items, including accessories, are designed with dyeability in mind when created. The reason they cannot be dyed is the same reason why certain weapons and pieces of armor cannot be dyed: they never added the settings to allow you to do so. The Yuweyawata sets are a very good example of items that could be dyed if SE simply took a bit of extra time to set up the metadata.

    It would be a first if they allowed you to dye accessories, but the reason isn't due to technical issues or "spaghetti code" but simply because they choose not to allow it, as with many things in this game.
