Well, I'm NX dyeing my equipment, and I'm wondering if anyone has colour suggestions. To be more specific, I plan on going White/Blue/Gold on a Quemielle set.

I've used 5 dyes so far, and I've been aiming for a 34/88/169 blue (I have 3 of them right now). I also got a 190/159/80 gold/yellow dye by accident, and it looks really good on the parts I'd be dyeing with it.

Problem being with the blue, it looked fine on the smaller parts of the set. But the blue I have right now looks terrible on the pants. So I'm wondering if anyone has experience with dyeing and could suggest me a blue to aim for, a darker one is perfered.

This is what the 34/88/169 looks like for those who want to know.

Wow, this is a tough combo, the white and blue is ok, but then the gold throws me off. How about you try dying the brown leather parts of the pants, of the gloves, and the seal blue part of the torso?

It's more of a problem with the blue. I think I know what I want to use, but I just need to find the right blue. That was just to show how bad my current blue is.

I'd be using blue on the cloth area of the gloves and boots. I'd use the same blue on the pants, and use the gold on the belts/straps of the pants. Still deciding on what to do with the top though.

I think the problem of this set is that you can't have too many vivid colors, might have to try something a bit duller.

I really hate doing the whole "quote original post" response thing, but I really can't be bothered to type that again (copy paste yay). I'm not too experienced with cash shop dyes, so I don't know which RGBs are the good "duller" blues.
