Dye can be used at the Template:L to change the Template:L of Template:L or Template:L. Dye is made by milling certain Template:L at a Template:L or Template:L. Usually all Template:L will bring dye for Template:L too. Importing dye however is only useful if you have a somewhat skilled dyer, otherwise little value is added and the work wasted. Better buy or grow the 'source' plants if available and mill yourself. Of course the nice colours are a value in themselves, if you don't stuff it all in bins.
Dyes are Template:Ld as "Food/Milled Plants", along with Template:Ls. On the Template:L screen, dyes are listed under Template:L.
In theory, dyed objects can be Template:L other than the basic 16. However, the game displays them using the basic color that is the nearest match (dimple dye is (dark) blue, and emerald dye is light green).
| Plant | Dye | Color | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template:L | Dimple Dye | Midnight Blue | |
| Template:L | Emerald Dye | Emerald | |
| Template:L | Redroot Dye | Red | |
| Template:L | Sliver Dye | Black | |
Dyes can be applied either to woven cloth or to the raw thread - there is not known to be any difference in the end product based on the point at which the dye was applied during the production process.
