For exemple, I noticed that every tier of robe has two different colors, so I guess that one has better stats for healing and the other one for dps (or one is better for thau and the other for conj).

So, I think that there is a color restriction for gears and that also you won't chose a different color based on wich one you like, but based on stats, so actually you won't have any choice.

Honestly the new dye system seems easy and all, but to me it sounds like a huge step backwards in terms of customization, but I really hope to have misunderstood the whole thing.
I never heard of that, all ive heard was that certain tiers are allowed a certain amount of colors. Its to distinguish what level a player may be by seeing what color their gear is.
