This is no longer updated. It was a beta list… thank you
Here’s the list! Nearly entirely done. 372 dyes out of the mentioned 400. I’m still not sure if that’s going to be the official number of dyes and if that will include the starter dyes for each starter set or not. BUT as soon as I know, I will let YOU KNOW! Thank you to all the wonderful people around the internet who are also interested in getting this list complete. **See links at the bottom of the page**
Also, this is just an idea of what these colors will look like. Arenanet has explained that the dyes will look different depending on what type of gear you are dying. So, I tried to put up pictures of any cloth, leather and chain that I found so you can see the difference. Some colors don’t have much of a difference except when the light hits. What is seriously making me happy is that the colors are simply amazing, the names are interesting as well, like Humiliation, Envy, and Abyss. So far Blue Rose is probably my personal fav but take a look below and make your own choice but with 400 dyes to choose from, I’ll probably change on a weekly, if not daily basis!
Have pics you’d like to share of your beta character! Throw me an email! I’d like to start a best outfit of the week/month once we finally get our greedy hands on this game!
Links will take you to screenshots.
Want the pics instead?
*** Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Brown, Black, Gray and White ***

I would like to thank all of those who have also worked to get as many dyes posted as possible. Most of these pictures are either my own or taken from GW2Guru. If you have a picture up here and you do not want it here please let me know and I will remove it!
I’m looking forward to how many we can find!

Hi! Two things for the few greyed out colours you have:
Limette is a starting colour, the bright green one. There are 21 starting colours.
And I have Lemon Shade uc posted in my Brown section (or here: http://udolphogame.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/lemon-shade.jpg). I remember it because I unlocked it and I thought, “How is this lemon?” It’s a dark brown, occasionally with green. I guess yellow doesn’t lend itself to the shade hues.
Great work!
Also, I have an uncommon colour called Dusty Grape (http://udolphogame.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dusty-grape.jpg) that’s not on your list, that should fix the total when you remove Limette. And feel free to delete these comments once you update.

I have to tell you, I found your site simply by fluke. While playing the 3rd beta for GW2 (my first beta) I was Google-ing about a couple of dyes that landed in my bags and was wondering what they look like.
I want you to know I am highly impressed with the work and detail that went into creating a compilation of these dyes. What tedious work it must of been.
I just wanted to say “thank you”….very cool site and research. Thank you for the clothing examples too!
Its because of these colors, amongst other things, that I am really intrigued and intend to buy and play GW2. I have played a few other major mmo games…but this one….is pretty……and interesting….and I am partial to beautiful games with terrific artwork.
Thank you so much! I did have lots of help but it was fun. I’m still getting the little swatches set up also but whew… those take a ton of time!
I only played a little in GWE3, to make a Sylvari and Asara of course! Love it!
I’m sure there’s so much we have yet to see also. Lots to look forward to!
I found a common dye called tulip, it’s a pink shade.
I have a rare one, redemption. Please see use this link

Thank you so much!
Hiya! I have one called “Mischief”, ss here: http://imgur.com/11bEr
hey, i just found a colour called Ash and i cant seem to find it on this list, i can try to add a picture, thought u might want to know…
its a very interesting looking grey/blacky, ash like (:P) colour
I have pumpkin, do you need a screenshot?
Thank you so much AmyLord. I will be getting to this soon. Real life has kind of taken over.
Plus my book review blog is massive work!! It’s like a job now.
I don’t think I have a screenshot of pumpkin if you’d like to email it to me
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/621358_3266492475926_1683584494_o.jpg
here you are.
I also notice that you didn’t put black cherry on list of rare dye. Will provide you with screenshot when I get home (now I’m at the office).
Midnight Ice is a rare
Amazing blog you have here with all the dyes very useful. One thing I’d like to suggest is to put the dyes in the correct category you have rare dyes in common (midnight ice). I also have sapphire so I’ll post that for you to use as well
heres the sapphire http://imgur.com/5i665
your list sucks for now, its not complete at all and it got some heavy bugs in it. Even though its a nice try. A few pointers I saw in a few seconds were:
Ash dye (rare), cant find it anywhere
Midnight Ice dye (rare), u put it under the commons
Lol… this was made in beta… so thank you for your comments. It did take a lot of hard work so saying sucks is not exactly how I would describe it. But thanks so much for your comment. This is also no longer updated…
seriously snarl, the list doesn’t suck, even if it isn’t updated for live, it is still pretty damn good. show some respect for all that work.
Thank you Tsunami!! Yes, it did take quite a bit of work and I am very sad I’m no longer updating! I just don’t have the time anymore!! That comment made me smile though
