I been having problems lately with fashion trading. A lot of people dont know the exact name of the color they selling/buying.
I hope this would help who doesnt know the differences between purple/magenta/violent...etc

wow, thanks
That's pretty cool.

lets not forget that everyones color settings are different as well ohh and def dont forget the ones who are color blind and dont see certain colors one color looks a certain way to them but in fact is a different color...and those rare few out there who dont see shades of colors blue is blue even if its navy blue versus robin egg blue

Wouldn't that be something you'd warn someone about before trying to trade with them? b:surrender

yes but they could be adverting it as one color when in fact it is another color unknown to them this could lead to misunderstandings and sometimes harsh feelings if the buyer feels they have been mislead..simple solution put the color names on the fashion instead of color cubes would take up same amt of space and would be user friendly by all.

Sorry that's not helpful in the least. HTML colors are not what are being used in PWI. RGB colors are. There is a huge difference & there is really no names for RGB colors only number values.

There is also a huge difference in how the same colour looks on different fashion sets. So which colour would you name when you have dyed your stuff light yellow and it appears to be golden? Or more tricky question: If someone advertises a black piece of clothing, that is in fact dark grey, but you only see it if you compare to true black clothings... know where my problem is?

Exactly. You can't expect 3D graphic shading to be like coloring with crayons in a color book. An object is overlaid with textures. This is a graphic image of textures like cordouroy or denim or leather... whatever. That graphic remains with the item permanently & can darken an item or lighten it.

For instance I saw Wedding Heels for sale which were correctly dyed with pure red (hot colors) dye yet they came out looking a sort of watermelon pinkish shade. This is due to that graphic having a lightening effect in the artwork. Leather & Duke Rose items simply cannot hold a light color because they are meant to be dark materials. The texture applied darkens them.

So think of any dye you put on something like a stain rather than a paint. It's going to let the clothing texture show through. This is not PWI's fault nor can they change it. It simply is the limitation of the current 3D graphics that we have to work with.

So like I said rather than try to describe colors to one another... get to know your items & do your research on a garment before you buy or dye. The AH (auction) is wonderful for this. Try stuff on. See how different colors act on the item. Get to know what the hot colors look like in the little blocks on an item AND what it looks like on the item.

My tip on pure black is simple but requires a decent computer system. During the daylight time in the game look at an items color blocks & they should look as though they disappeared no matter how hard you look when against the shop screen. Now try it on & point your camera to the sky... mouse over the item on your preview screen & look at the blocks. They should look like 4 tiny black boxes on a transparent black background. Dark blue & dark purple show up well when you look up in the sky toward the sun & do this.

Most of all... remember black is black no matter what anyone says. There is this myth going around that random pigments & new clothes can never come out pure black & that is FALSE. If the squares are actually black & disappear on the background... it's pure black. Test it out & you'll see what I mean.

Sorry for wall of text but this subjects hard to explain b:chuckle

Sorry, but the OP's post is useless. It's incredibly misleading to people to post a list of colours which are in no way related to the dye system ingame.

A correct table of hot-colours dyes for PWI can be found below (I modified it off a table for... "a certain well known asian version"):



The RGB values, even when using the colour in the item decription, are only approximate though. If a value is reasonably close, you can probably safely say it's one of the hot-colours. If none of the colours match when you're looking at, then it's a random colour, either from the boutique or via a random dye.

EDIT: Should mention that when I made/modified the image, I accidentally saved it as a jpg instead of BMP or PNG. So there's a certain amount of lossy compression in the image, unfortunately.

Thanks Peritia for posting... that's exactly what I was trying to explain.

And I know you mean well Cervantia however without a better understanding of how the graphics work your best off to take the advice of those who do know what they are talking about.

HTML is a totally different set of colors ONLY for the internet browsers.

RGB is the colors used in graphic programs like Window Paint.

And I understand your frustration with textures on clothing... like the Leather set of clothes is VERY dark textured... so that it makes the dye appear to change. But I assure you the dye has not changed, you simply are seeing through the color to the background texture on the item.

Think of it like spilling a drink on a wooden table... you can see the wood grain through the drink because the drink is transparent.

Dyes are transparent like liquid water color paints. You are seeing what the artist put on the items background. You will just have to experiment with items to find out how they take a color. Each item is different because it's a work of art all on it's own. That's why they sell clothes in sets that match.

I sure hope ppl stop calling purple : Violent.
Olive : green.
Lime : **** green.

lol i cant remember more.

**** green....b:laugh

then you wind up having to go by what others tell you, unfortunately. i have the same problem. i have an outfit i love, that to me looks royal blue, but my kids tell me is violet/purple. same thing with things in red shades. i've had people for years tell me i make colours too intense in things i make on PSP/Animation Shop, but didnt know i was somewhat colourblind.

one suggestion- if you know which colours you see 'properly', stick with those. or, do as i do, wear what looks good to *you*. you are playing, and most people wont care what colour you wear. whats important is how it makes you feel, and i love my 'blue' outift.

I got a question, the link is awesome, but what if your color blind? Certain colors will look the same, so that still doesn't help us out. You may see light blue, I see blue that's it.
