Do you think we need new dyes?

[SachiMizora]

I'm all up for more options when it comes to customization!

I can represent 256 color values using a single byte descriptor for each armor piece. I would need six byte descriptors for suitable RGB value. Multiply that by five for the visible slot choices and I go from five bytes dedicated to armor color to 30 bytes.

For True Color (or 24-bit color depth), it's three bytes for an RGB value, not six. So it's an extra 10 bytes per character (from 5 to 15 for five dyable gear items). Still an increase, but not by as much as suggested.

None of you even know how the data is stored right now tho, so saying how much of an increase it is is extremely misleading, as it may very well reference a local table with those values, meaning the server-side storage would be much less than you might assume

It cracks me up how "data storage" is so much of an issue in this game and yet not in others. >_<!

Honestly, we shouldn't temper our requests pre-emptively. SE needs to figure their stuff out, and we should feel free to ask them for better systems! Like multiple dye channels on a piece of gear, and a better selection of colors.

I need the default color the Thav bustier is in as a dye. I need it T_T

[BiggieSmallz]

Camo dye would be nice. Or adding a pattern design to the system so glamour can be more unique instead of just colors. Food for thought.

[Jatoi]

No, I think we need a better dyeing system.

Like dyeing certain segments of gear differently.

edit: Holy hell, corrected some baaaad typos.

[Laerune]

Before we need dyes the developers need to make it so we can dye every part of a armour.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

An RGB picker for a dye would be great - there are so many times I want to dye something red to match something else in-game but it just doesn't match up perfectly.

Oh yes, it has irked me to no end on some items I can't dye that none of my dyeable pieces match... every dye availble is just a little bit off...

I'm down for more options when it comes to colors. One in particular that I would greatly appreciate being added is the ''dark red'' that has been added into the datas since patch 2.5.


Only best reds atm are Rolanberry red and Dalamud red.

Well, I've used wine red before. It's not too bad.

I personally would love to see a Turqouise metallic dye
