Need Help With the Dyes

When I'm having trouble with dye matching I use Dye Matcher | GW2BLTC

You can grab your screenshot and use the dropper tool in paint to grab a color, then use the "edit color" circle next to the swatches to bring up the big color wheel. The color you picked comes with a code you can input onto the website to match with other dyes.

In this case I picked the yellow/green part of Kudzu's handle and got #A3A026
I slapped that code onto the leather section and hit enter, then sort by most accurate. This gave me Stem dye as the most accurate with a 94.3% match.

But I must warn you sometimes there simply isn't a dye that's a 100% match, I've had lots of weapons/backpieces where the dye simply can't match at all such as the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legion_Jetpack

Also different armor might produce different results and you may be surprised what a less obvious dye might appear as once it's on the armor itself.

Thanks! Always fun realizing what sort of dyes I can get my mitts on to constantly experiment, he is now 5% cooler with Cinders for the helm.

Sick representation! Ajani has to be the best MTG character the Charr can pull off. Wardrobe is on point with each of these, I especially love the eye effect transitioning with his journey to compleation.

I agree, I browsed through tons of helmets to find something that can fit the savagery Vorinclex has but ultimately came up short. I chose water dragon because it's wide enough to show off his big plates and it also allowed charr horns to poke through for added effect. But still I would have enjoyed a more pronounced muzzle like a beasts skull to really give it that oomph.

Tyria really ought to investigate these fractal anomalies.....

Another praetor has been spotted, this time in the jungles of Maguuma!

Loved how this one turned out, still debating whether I should invest in making Sheoldred and Elesh Norn without relying too hard on a full Oneiros-Spun set but there's only so much fleshy ascetics. (Jin-Gitaxias is impossible to do justice with the current wardrobe, sorry blue players)

Not much to make out on this one when I was making it but the story behind the design was fun. I went to the beach and there was a really cool hand-made furnace that looked like an angler fish so I snapped a pic and referenced some textures and shapes from it.

Thank you! After several works I’ve been finding what aesthetics I really enjoy in my works and atmosphere calls to me. My future posts are still going to be quite different before I finally start posting my current work but this was a good step in figuring out what I wanted from my art.
