Nice, obtainable blue/purple dyes?

I wish you could preview dyes at the outfit station. I'm looking for some nice indigo/ultra violet/ultramaurine dyes with a rich, dark color. The purples and blues I have tend toward the aqua or magenta end when applied. Has anyone unlocked something they really like?
While I'm at it, which IS the better black? Coldharbor Ash or Legate's?

✭✭✭✭✭About blue... I have no idea, maybe Tainted Turquoise or Indoril Blue eventually Blackreach blue. About blacks: Legate is a bit darker but it also has metallic shine on some gear parts, while coldharbour is more mat. Difference in most of the cases is hard to notice.
Say no to Toxic Casuals!
I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge2 -

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to unlock Blackreach and Indoril blue, since I'm most of the way to getting those, anyway. Based purely on the thumbnails of things I haven't unlocked, it looks like Bedlam Purple may be close to what I want (though the thumbnails can be deceptive). I do wish Coldharbor Ash black could be made shiny sometimes, but if you say it's not that noticeable. . . .✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -

✭✭✭✭✭You can check all of the dyes on standard materials here: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/dyes-blue-2/
Of course, some outfit styles have textures which give you a slightly off color, so you may need to correct a different way. I know there are some leather bits on armor that will stay a light tan even with a white dye, so you actually need to use a dark blue if you want it to make a nice black.
Legate is by far the best black, but it's so hard to get to. Coldharbour is ok, but it's on the brownish side. I tend to go with Noxophilic Black, but sometimes I'd want something darker.Edited by tomofhyrule on July 2, 2020 5:54AM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Wayrest Royal Purple (Stam Sorc pictured below) and Potency Blue are two easy unlock dyes I use a lot ...

✭✭✭Thanks so much, guys! Why did I never think to check if ESO fashion had previews of all the dyes?
Covenant Blue is about what I'm looking for! I'm surprised I don't have that achievement yet. ✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -
Athyrium93✭✭✭✭Honestly superior blue is the best black except for maybe legate (which I don't have so haven't tried)0 -

✭✭✭Covenant Blue is one of my favorites. Bedlam Purple is also really nice as it doesn't have the super shininess that most of the rare dyes have (I like shine occasionally, but man I don't need ALL my fabric to look like satin).PC/NAMountain God | Leave No Bone Unbroken | Apex Predator | Pure Lunacy | Depths Defier | No Rest for the Wicked | In Defiance of DeathMeet my characters :

✭✭✭Bedlam Purple is definitely one of my most used dyes. It's a gorgeous purple, rich in color, matte, and works as a pseudo-black on some pieces.
Voidstone Violet is a nice, similar blue, I believe it's more shiny, bit plays with some more undertones.0 -

For Bedlam, I understand you just need to have completed Cloudrest, is that correct? I'm going to have to start reaching out to folks about getting some trials done.
The requirements for Voidstone are a little less clear for me. There's a lot of conflicting information online. Do you remember what you did to unlock it? I'm getting the impression it's no death (HM?) runs on an unclear number of dungeons.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -

I like to use Indomitable Violet on leather! It's black, with a faint brown/purple dimension.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨1 -

Hey! Bedlam Purple is for finishing Cloudrest on veteran. No HMs necessary.
Voidstone Violet (from my interpretation of the wording) is for clearing the HMs on base game dungeons, specifically the ones that have II in their title. No death is not required -- the confusion stems from the fact that No Death achievements are categorized as 'Survivor Challenges', while HM achievements are categorized as 'Death Challenges'.4 -

Thank you for the clarification! That sounds a lot less daunting than I had anticipated.
The dungeons are going to be no sweat to get done. Cloudrest will take a little more doing. I should probably do it on normal before I ask to join someone's vet group. Edited by SickleCider on July 4, 2020 12:37PM✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -

When I got the achievement, you did need a no-death on CoH II for Voidstone Violet. Or at least it needs to be up to the portal before the last boss. To be honest, though, the penultimate boss is the toughest to no-death.1 -

The penultimate is definitely a PUG killer, and yeah the No Death there is often bugged (awarded before final boss), though unfortunately not reliably.
The way I remembered it was that one of the achievements was simply mis-listed, but I just checked and you seem to be right, CoH2 No Death is thrown in there for whatever reason.2 -

That certainly complicates things. Not impossible, but as you said, definitely a killer.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -

✭✭✭✭There's no global answer to "which is the best dye" kinds of questions. Different dyes look different on different outfits and gear.
I tend to go with straight Covenant blue, but I'm not trying for purplish (and when I do, I don't like what I wind up with).0 -

For sure! Although amusingly I ended up getting it with a pug. Two of us needed that last achievement for VV, too. That was the only time I got it (I’m so used to my main that my other toons are pretty much relegated to daily crafting writs); I didn’t know whether it always popped before the last boss or not.
The inconsistency in this game (especially in terms of requirements and achieving them) really does drive me nuts sometimes...
I love the dye, though, especially on metal.
Definitely worth the trouble. Complements the Maw skin well.
As for OP’s other question: I take the Legate black over Coldharbour Ash for almost all materials. It’s noticeably deeper, which also allows for better contrasts. Besides, Legate takes more persistence than skill, which works out well for me.1 -

If I may pry, how long did it take you to get Legate's, and how did you go about it?
