Questing Dye Pack?

So i recently came back to the game and I notice whenever I equip an item it gets automatically Dye colored with this "questing dye pack", particularly armor items that are, in fact, quest rewards. Even though when I examine the items tool-tip BEFORE I equip it there is no mention of the item being Dyed any sort of color. The Dye color appears to be getting applied as soon as the armor piece is equipped. because I can then take the armor piece off and the tooltip from that point forward states that the item has been dyed.
Now I wouldn't mind this to terribly if the Dye pack made some sort of color sense for the class of the player I.E.... brown/green dye colors for rangers...blue/grey for wizards....red/black for warlocks and so on, but the color scheme itself on this dye pack seems almost devoid of any sort of color at all.....I put a chest piece on my ranger today that is normally brown/green and the questing dye pack changed this item to almost all white/off white colors. I leveled up a warlock from 1 to 60 on dull pink "questing dye pack" colored leather armors.....can you say TACKY!!!!!!!!
I searched through the options in-game to see if this was something I could turn off but came up empty handed....so I sent in a customer service ticket (3 days ago) and today's CSR response was some cut/paste response that tells me to check the wiki and the forums because CSRs are not allowed to give out game play advice or give out skill and tactics advice because the players "like to find those things out for themselves"....the CSR obviously didn't even bother to read or understand my question at all. so Here I am, anyone have any thoughts on this?

Like I said, just a guess.
Oh, and Rangers have an even harder time blending into the forest when they carry this giant bow that glows blindingly in strange colors from a GPF or worse, a Holy Avenger or Brilliance enhancement. haha

It's not really something that can be turned off - it was something implemented to differentiate leveling gear vs end-game gear.

Epic have it too..
Wow.. then that is even worse! So basically it's to get you to buy or craft dye packs/bottles.

With the SW they picked a colour scheme that ONLY looks reasonably acceptable on a high-end PC with all settings maxed out. Then it's a kind of metallic magenta/purple. Unfortunately on my bog-standard laptop it comes across as a dull brown/pink that just looks awful.

Even epic gear from DD chests is pre-dyed. My GF has a pepto-pink Timeless torso piece now. I'll dye it something more appealing when I get the full set though. I'm going to transmute it anyway.
The entire point of "questing" dye seems to have been to make the gear you get a different colour from the basic class schemes, which are as the OP describes (green/brown for HRs, etc.). Class dyes are 1000-2000AD each on the AH, and made by level 7 alchemy. So you could always obtain some of that and... dye your gear the colour that it would have been prior to this "improvement".
Edit: SW dye is actually a black/red scheme, sort of a softened version of the Swashbuckler dye. Not that I've seen any SW gear that came in those colours, just the dye.
