Pitch black - 0 0 0
Black - 32 32 32
Dark gray - 64 64 64
Gray - 128 128 128
Light Gray - 192 192 192

Blue - 0 0 128
D blue - 0 0 64

Yellow - 128 128 0
Ocre (D yellow) - 64 64 0

Lavender - 255 128 255
Magenta - 255 0 255
L Purple - 192 0 192 or 192 128 192 or 192 64 192 (Being figured out ingame right as you read this)UPDATE - this isnt it :( Light purple probably doesnt exist then, or its just magenta
Purple (D magenta) - 128 0 128
D purple - 64 0 64

B cyan - 0 255 255
cyan - 0 128 128

Orange - 255 128 0
Pink - 192 128 64

Red green and blue are primary colours, cyan, yellow, magenta and secondary.

Not much use are these numbers if you dont get them;
Firstly, each number can be between 255 and 0, 255 being the most intense colour. The first number stands for Red, the second Green, the third Blue, hence RGB. So, 255 0 0 would be very strong red, with no green and no blue. This makes the colour bright red. 0 255 0 would be bright green, and 0 0 255 bright blue. 0 0 0 is no colour whatsoever, so it is black. 255 255 255 is all colours used at the same time, and makes white.

Mixing dyes isn't so complicated when you understand the basics;
When mixing two dyes, you end up with an average of the two. Each of the 3 numbers in dye A is added to the corresponding number in dye B. Then, each number is divided by two. Its just an average really.
E.g. 10 10 10 + 6 6 6 = 16 16 16.     16 16 16 diveded by 2 = 8 8 8
It gets trickier when you start using multiples of 255. An important number to learn is 128, as it is half 255.

Patterns:
Bright colours use 255 and 0 values only.
Regular use 128 and 0 values
Dark use 64 and 0 values.



Ways to get each named dye:

Mixing a bright primary colour with another bright primary colour gets 2 regular secondary colours (b blue + b green = 2cyan (bad!))
Getting dark colours can be done the way above, using regular secondary colours. Getting dark primary colours can only be done by using pitch black and the regular primary colour.
All bright colours can only be obtained from crates.

Pitch black - Volcano
Black - Volcano/Dgray+PitchBlack
Dark gray - Gray+PBlack/Red+Cyan/Green+Mag/Blue+Yellow
Gray - BRed+BCyan/BGreen+BMag/BBlue+BYellow/Bleach+PBlack
Light Gray - Gray+Bleach
Bleach - 300gp in shop
B red - Red crater
Red - Red crater
D Red - Red+PBlack
B green - Woods
Green - Woods
D green - Green+PBlack
B blue - Blue hills
Blue - Blue hills
D blue - Blue+PBlack
Midnight Blue - DBlue+PBlack
B yellow - Auric fields
Yellow - Auric fields
Ocre - Yellow+PBlack/Green+Red
Lavender - Magenta+Bleach
Magenta - Volcano
Purple (D magenta) - Magenta+PBlack/Red+Blue
D purple - Purple+PBlack
B cyan - Swamp
cyan - Swamp
D cyan - Cyan+PBlack/Blue+Green
Brown - Level 1
Orange - Level 1/BRed+BYellow
Pink - Magenta+BYellow

there are darker blue colors

badspot, is there really a midnight blue o_O

badspot, is there really a midnight blue o_O

My guess is B Blue + Pitch, if anyone wants to test it for me...
Actually this would get regular blue

Can anybody try Dark Blue + Pitch?

 0 0 0 is no colour whatsoever, so it is white (Bleach). 255 255 255 is all colours used at the same time, and makes black.

...

Very nicely done Miked, I just saw this error, you had it correct in the section above it though. Good luck finding the rest, I'll help you if I can.

dark blue is blue and pitch

Midnight blue exists, and Im going to try Midnight Blue + Pitch Black next, just whenever I find somebody willing to sell a PB. When I find it out Ill finish off the guide and put into into a helpfile so you can view it ingame when you press F1.

EDIT: midnight blue + pitch black gets nothing

badspot said there are darker blue colours, which means the 30th dye is a darker blue..
