Dyes! We've seen them in countless other RPGs, and now they're here in Diablo. We have limited information on dyes, but we do know most visible pieces of armor can be dyed. I'll add some more basic colors in addition to the 2 types that dropped in the 2010 Blizzcon demo (an off-white color and a natural brown color) seen here:


.

Here's an SS I numbered that shows us a mid-tier(-ish?) Wizard armor. Keep in mind that each piece of every tier of armor can dye differently, so these colors could be more vibrant/subdued depending on what you're wearing.




There will be rare dyes, perhaps deep shades of red and black or bright whites that are more desirable. There's also the possibility of a unique Collector's Edition dye, or dyes related to completing difficult endgame material (Tyrael's Soul Dye, etc.).

So: how do you plan on dying your your first character? Will it be a solid color like you see in the above picture or will you mix and match? If the Collector's Edition had a dye, what would it look like? Should some very rare dyes also have some sort of effect associated with them, like a smokey aura or glow?

For me, I had a tough choice between full white or mixing black and some other color for my Monk (my first character). I think I'll end up shooting for full white, but this could change if white dyes are crazy-expensive.

I think it depends on what character I'm playing. I think a would want an all blood-red Demon Hunter and maybe a Wizard that wears all deep blues or possibly purples.

My characters are going to be named via a colour that suites their theme or playstyle.

WhiteTilite = Monk
BlackTilite = Demon Hunter
GreenTilite = Witch Doctor

etc. I'll probably use far more interesting ones when I actually put more thought into it closer to release... like IndigoTilite = Wizard (goes well with Arcane power).

So I imagine I will dye them accordingly. I'm sure vanity will strike at somepoint and I'll make GoldTilite!!!

I identify closely with rainbows.

I'll mix and match but id have to see the gear id be using before i decide on colors

hot pink. because its manly!

I agree, which is why I answered based off of my first character, the Monk. I'd pick like silver and dark red for a barbarian, black for a DH, etc.

Ideally I'd have 5 identical polls, one for each class. But you can only create three.

I'm gonna dye all my armor with vanishing dye, so I run around naked!

Or maybe some kinda purple and gold pimp fresh look

It depends of the kind of character we will use. For example:
-If I make a Barbarian, I am thinking on a golden armor.
-If I make a Monk, I am thinking on brighter colors, depending on the class.
-If I make a Wizard, it would depend on what kind of Wizard.
-A Demon Hunter should be black with red, for me.
-A Witch Doctor? Well, the Witch Doctor is crazy! He doesn't care about colors

Monk = white or gold or black
Wiz = gray or cyan
WD = dunno yet
DH = black or dark red
Barb I dunno I'm not much of a bar guy.

BTW I think dyes work as a single set dye not dye each part.

Black and dark red.

Safest bet.

Female wizard, deep purple.

My choice isn't included and therefore I'm going to hunt down the poll creator with a pitchfork.

WHERE IS DA RAINBOWWW CHOIIIICE !!!!


Now, seriously, silver is the one I identify with the most. I loved Sigon's "steelseries" from D2 B)=] I guess I like shiny heroes

Ha, it's actually include in the parenthesis of the first choice I'm going to lol when I see a person decked out in the most garish colors possible. Then I'm going to kill yell at them

Nope, a dye dyes only 1 piece of armor. Look at the first screenshot in the OP, the tooltip says "Changes the color of a single piece of armor."

Im gonna make me look like a double rainbow!

Demon Hunter = Black
Monk = Black
Barbarian = Black
Wizard = Black
Witch Doctor = Black


but in all serious, all classes will be full black.. maybe a little orange. Either that all full white with a little orange.. district 9 colours!!

Derp.

My DH is going to be male, with bright teals/blues and marginally less bright greys/golds.
Barb will be amber and something else, TBD.

I don't care about the other classes yet.

Edit: I hope Blizzard trolls everyone and makes Black an incredibly rare dye, like in Fable III. The longer we don't have High School cliques invading our games, the better.

Reds and Blacks

I want to have two colors on my armor, so probably end up with chest one color and the rest another color or something. (As a monk)
