Colored dyes can be made through the General Alchemy subskill of Alchemy. These formulas were released on 09/16/08 as part of Alchemy Phase II.

Some of colors are independent from than colors available in the Dyer's tents; others overlap. It is usually cheaper to make these dyes than to purchase the dyes in the tent.

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.
