:* <font color=green>Green</font> - [[Copper lump]] (minimum .8 kg) - 1kg of water per 1kg of [[copper lump]]. Produces 1kg of dye per copper lump.
:* <font color=red>Red</font> - [[Cave bug]] or [[scorpion]] [[cochineal]]- at 1kg of water per [[cochineal]]. Produces 1kg of dye per cochineal.
:* <span style=background-color:grey;color:white>White</span> - [[Zinc lump]]- 1kg of water per 1kg of [[zinc lump]]. Larger amounts of water and zinc produce larger amounts of dye.(NOTE: White only works on lamps to change the color from a yellow to a bright white even at lower quality dye.)
=== Method ===
# Put water in container.
# [[Activate]] item.
# Right-click on water in container and select ''Create > Miscellaneous Dyes > <color> dye''.
* Different colors of dye can be mixed together to make other colors by pouring one container into another. More exact colors can be obtained by mixing cochineals, copper lumps, or woad into an existing dye. Activate the item, right-click, and select ''Mix''. If you, for example, have a red dye, and add some copper lump, it will gradually turn into orange. Adding even more copper, and you will get a yellow color.
** Knarr
** Small sailing boat
Improving color on dye uses high quality items of the color needed mixing into the already made dye IE 200 50 173 dye mixing pure cochineal of 100ql into this dye would only raise the RED value.
* Items with a size rune attached will need slightly more dye than normal to paint them.
