Dye wash doesn't do that thing they said.

So, I used some dye wash on some Sun-lands pieces today and it didn't revert to the old color. Instead, it turned some completely new color.

Lame.

The base texture is sort of ugly undyed. So players never see it undyed, it's always given a dye color of some sort. If the armor is sort of lower-quality in appearance, like rusty chainmail, the base dye color is meant to just look pretty nondescript. If it's high-level stuff, like the PvMP armor, its base dye color is usually a vivid color. Dye colors are never blended: if we put purple in as a base dye color, then that color is removed, and entirely replaced, with a different dye color, when players dye it. Now when players dye-wash that armor, it goes back to its base purple.

The dye wash will remove player dyes from armor, and take it back to this base color. On some armors, it has the appearance of having removed color, but on other armors, it has the appearance of taking it to some arbitrary color. Given that loot can itself be dyed randomly, the armor may be taken back to a color you haven't seen it with before.

This is why we didn't call it "bleach": it doesn't necessarily take color out of armor.

A dye preview window is severely overdue.

If so, then there's a bug. I have not seen it misbehave in that way, if you can PM me with screenshots, that would be great.
