Is a "dying station" where you stand in red?


Seriously, it's really unfortunate that many outfit/dye-color combinations don't work. It's almost a surprise when they do.

Why doesn't the colour actually change to the one you want, for example I tried dying this necropotence set, I wanted to dye the boarder gold around each piece so naturally you would chose a yellow / gold colour however that actually dyes it anywhere from a mucky orange colour to a pale white gold, choose "Transliminal Violet" however and it turns to a deep shining gold.

There is an effect in GTA5 where metallic paint jobs can have pearlescent added to them
what this does is overlay a secondary colour on the main colour, which causes it to change through a different spectrum of colours depending on how light hits it
This seems to be the effect ZOS is going for with the dyes -- transliminal violet seems to be a gold base with a violet pearlescent type effect
blademaster's mauve does similar with sort of a red and purple combination

However, in GTA 5 it is almost always on metallic paint on a vehicle
in ESO, the material types range from reflective metal to woven cloth
presumably the texturing effect impacts how the in-game lighting hits each material causing one colour or the other to appear more dominant

The concept of Transliminality does not do wonders to clarify why they chose such a colour combination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliminality
but maybe the near-invisibility of the purple in the purple/gold mix is supposed to be some sort of conceptual play on ultraviolet light
with Gold just being the best contrasting colour

Why do some of the colours on pallet seems to have no correlation with the actual end dying color, unless they were planning on making it look like the colours were mixing, i might be *** and in before OP doesn't know colours) but I didn't think Violet and silver made gold so I'm guessing it's not always the case?

Lighting in the game plays a major part.

Different materials dye differently. While it does kinda suck when you want a bright red Outlaw light armor or something, it's actually kind of realistic which I find rather cool.

Next, the Transluminal Violet is of the higher dye tier. All higher tier dyes have 2...components to them, the base colour and the "shine"(not sure of the proper word). If the shine is the same colour as base dye you usually just get a shiny solid colour like Daedric Red or something. But a lot of the dyes have "shines" different from their original colour. Transluminal violet is probably the most vivid example of that because its base colour and shine one are so different...the base is gold but the shine(which is rather abundant) is blue(or the other way round...been a while since I used it ). These colours also dye different mats differently, for example some mats get dyed with the "shine" colour instead of the base one so you can dye an armor with blue-tooltip dye and get pink result because the blue's shine colour is pink. Personally I don't really like dyes with off-colour shine colours, looks unnatural imo, but evidently ZOS artists think it a really interesting idea and I think some players do like them.

There isn’t a good true yellow in the game. And yest the best yellow is a actually a violet. It’s always been this way.
