Why isn't this dye information stored in the dresser as well? This is extremely limiting. You basically can't ever take advantage of this system if you ever plan to use jet black or pure white.
How I understand is this, if say you dyed chest X into pure white then flush it down the glamour toilet, chest X will always be pure white when you set it up for glamour plate. From there you can dye it on the glamour plate again, which is pretty much what existing glamouring does. The problem occurs when say, you want to change the color of chest X (in the dresser) into jet black so all future glamour plate of chest X would be jet black. There is no way to go around it except to put a second copy of chest X dyed jet black into the dresser, which may or may not require you to dump the pure white chest X already inside the dresser earlier, this is where it is different from the existing system.

Sadly, I don't think there's anyway to work around this issue (requiring a second copy of chest X in order to change the color in the dresser) without making dyes a one-time unlock like Stoic mentioned. Then again, patch notes have previous cases of translation error, so I suppose the only way to find out how the system really works is to wait for the patch to go live.
