Question about dyes

Most of the loot we've seen on characters in game is made of at least 3 or so colors. Will dye apply to only the items base color, or will the system be more intricate, allowing you to dye highlights/secondary sections as well?

No, an item can only be dyed one color at a time.

Q u o t e:
Bashiok posted that a strong possibility for "end-game" dyes would be a dye that didn't change the colour of the item but the style of it (looking older, more ornate, darker etc.)


There is little-to-no possibility of that happening for the release game. I was musing about how gear looks could be swapped around if we ever thought people were looking too similar at the very end game. In no way is it a system that's currently being planned, designed, or even thought about.

Ah. thanks for the clarification, and don't be afraid to muse, I will take it for face value more-so next time.


How helpful.
