What Is Dye In ARK Survival Evolved?
Dye, which is also known as Colouring, is an item that is used to change the colour of structures and items, such as flags, armours, saddles, and even some creatures. There are 25 different colours you can make, which are: black, blue, brick, brown, cantaloupe, cyan, forest, green, magenta, mud, navy, olive, orange, parchment, pink, purple, red, royalty, silver, sky, slate, tan, tangerine, white, and yellow.
Using your dyes can be done in the inventory, as you can just drag the Colouring to an item that you want to change. This works for items like armours, weapons, and saddles, and when you drag the Coloring onto them, a menu will open where you can select the specific part of the item you want to colour. Dye works different for structures, as you will need to get a Paintbrush or Spray Painter first. Drag the Coloring to one of these, equip the item, and then you can use it on structures.
