Some of the colors are independent from those available in the Dyer's tents; others overlap. This is an oversight that will eventually be resolved with the removal of any alchemy color from the dyer's tents. For most formulas, it is faster and less expensive to purchase the dyes in the tent than to make these dyes.

Example:

You pour a few test drops of white vial of dye on your leather tome. The results are good, and you can tell the dye will transform it into a cream white leather tome if you poured some more on it.

>pour my dye on my tome
You pour your white vial of dye on your leather tome, completely coating the item. The liquid soon dries, leaving you with a cream white leather tome.
That was the last of the dye.

>tap tome
You tap a cream white leather tome, which is in your right hand.

The item will retain the material it INSPECTs as.

If the item is scripted or otherwise special and will not take the dye; it will run off during the initial pour. The dye will not be wasted.
