Outfits/Dyes/Materials Help

I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on this as I'm still relatively new to the game.
I picked up an Anequina styled heavy armor chest piece (around level 50 or so). When I use the Rank 6 Materials dye, I get this metallic dark bronze/gold colour (1 - see example image) - I really like this look, but I generally used medium armor, not heavy.
The problem arises when I selected the Anequina style to apply over my outfit (as opposed to using my currently equipped armor) - instead of the bronze/gold colour, I get this sort of bone white (2 - see example image). This happens consistently with the different Rank Number Materials dyes, and on all Anequina pieces from light to heavy.
If I own the armor the dyes show up really nice (more consistent to what other styles show too), but if I'm trying to apply the style over top of my armor, the dyes are quite different.
What's going on here? Any help or insight would be very much appreciated, thank you!

Additional info: I thought this might be due to my character's crafting ability levels, or not owning the outfit style, and have since acquired most of the Anequina style as well as leveled up my tailoring skills to rank 5. I then tried again and got the same result as before.
This all came up, as originally I wanted to equip a medium helmet/chest, and then apply the heavy Anequina helmet/chest outfit style and have the dye colour match the same metallic colouring as everything else.

✭✭✭✭✭You may want to try duplicating the issue on the PTS server, @rootkitronin, and see if you get the same result.
On PTS, all dyes are unlocked at the outfit station as well as all motif styles. So those are all known to your account on PTS.
If you get the same result, the best you can do for now is send an in-game bug ticket to ZOS ... and try to find another unlocked dye to suit your needs.
Atmoran Bronze is a good dye that might be better than Rank 6 Materials. You can obtain it through the Ebonheart Master Explorer achievement.
I’ve linked a recent screenshot of my Dunmer Sorc ... in Coldsnap Goblin light armor with some Atmoran Bronze reflective pieces.

✭✭OP, when you apply an outfit style to a slot, it has a default color scheme. You then have to dye the outfit slot. Are you doing that? It's a separate step and costs additional gold.0 -

✭✭✭I have noticed differences in the crafted Orc style versus the Orc style outfit applied to another crafted style. Using the same dyes doesn’t quite get the same colors. The belt buckle isn’t even visible for medium armor so I don’t bother dying it. Overall, the quality/resolution of the outfit style is not as good.

Good Morning.
As far as I know, the color of the mixed materials ranked 1-10 always depends on the armor. The colors always change with the weight and always consist of four different colors (fabric, leather, wood, metal). The color of the icon always depends on the metal in the crafting rank. Not every piece of armor has the same color slot.
My tip: If you want the chest part in the Rank 5 color, then color the part completely in this one color.PC-EU ~|~ CP 1200+ ~|~ UserID: 'killed.Persephone' | Gilde: Tamriels Häkelfreunde & Smile | Passionierte PvE'lerin ohne Battle-Pets

✭✭✭Well, I don’t know what the OP means with the term Rank 6 materials dye, but I’m comparing with Rank 10 materials and am using rare dyesKhajiit Stamblade main

Some of them can look quite nice actually ... such as this Order of the Hour bow in Rank 5 (Coldharbour) Yew.
