Desktop/Console/Mobile-Only Content: This information applies only to the Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.

Dyes are cosmetic items that can be placed in the Dye Slots of a player's inventory to alter the colors/textures of equipped Armor, Vanity items and Accessories. The Dye Trader NPC sells two dyes as well as the Dye Vat (5 GC.) The other Dyes must be crafted using the Dye Vat or obtained through trading in Strange Plants to the Dye Trader NPC. Primary crafted Dyes can be further combined to craft shade, gradient, and patterned Dyes. There are currently 110 (Desktop version) / 68 (Console version Mobile version) different dyes in the game (109 / 67 on single player worlds as Team Dye is not available).

Dyes are not available on the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version, due to the unavailability of pixel shaders.

To craft thirteen (Desktop version) / three (Console version Mobile version) of each Dye (one for each dye slot, including combination and compound dyes), it takes:

  • 104 Desktop version / 24 Console version Mobile version each of Red Husks, Green Mushrooms, Teal Mushrooms, Blue Berries, Purple Mucoses, Violet Husks and Pink Prickly Pears;
  • 156 Desktop version / 36 Console version Mobile version each of Orange Bloodroots, Lime Kelps, Cyan Husks and Sky Blue Flowers;
  • 208 Desktop version / 48 Console version Mobile version Yellow Marigolds;
  • 247 Desktop version / 48 Console version Mobile version Black Inks;
  • 403 Desktop version / 75 Console version Mobile version Silver Dyes (costing 4 PC 3 GC Desktop version / 75 GC Console version Mobile version);
  • 13 Desktop version / 3 Console version Mobile version Team Dyes (costing 13 GC Desktop version / 3 GC Console version Mobile version, multiplayer-exclusive);
  • 52 Desktop version Brown Dyes (costing 52 GC);
  • 130 Desktop version Pink Gel;
  • 260 Desktop version Crystal Shards.

To craft only one of each Dye, if you don't want to repeat any, it takes:

  • 8 each of Red Husks, Green Mushrooms, Teal Mushrooms, Blue Berries, Purple Mucoses, Violet Husks and Pink Prickly Pears;
  • 12 each of Orange Bloodroots, Lime Kelps, Cyan Husks and Sky Blue Flowers;
  • 16 Yellow Marigolds;
  • 19 Desktop version / 16 Console version Mobile version Black Inks;
  • 31 Desktop version / 25 Console version Mobile version Silver Dyes;(costing 31 GC Desktop version / 25 GC Console version Mobile version);
  • 1 Team Dye (costing 1 GC, multiplayer-exclusive);
  • 4 Desktop version Brown Dyes (costing 4 GC);
  • 10 Desktop version Pink Gel;
  • 20 Desktop version Crystal Shards.

Notes

  • All vanity items will benefit from dye, with the exception of the Familiar clothes. The colors shown when wearing Familiar clothes can be changed using a Dresser instead.
    • The Familiar Wig will change the player's hair color when dyed. This allows for interesting Dye/Hair Dye combos.
  • Some dyes work with the Familiar Wig and will alter the color of the hair when applied. This effectively gives even more customization potential to player hair than was previously available.
  • When transformed into a werewolf or a merfolk by Neptune's Shell, Moon Charm or Moon Shell, any dye placed in the Dye Slots will color the werewolf or merfolk form's head, torso and legs as if they are Vanity items.
  • The dye crafting materials found naturally-placed can be placed again manually by players (eg. as decoration) excluding the Pink Prickly Pear. Green and Teal mushrooms as well as the Sky Blue Flower can be placed on any blocks. Orange Bloodroot must be hung from the underside of any block. Lime Kelp must be submerged in liquid. Enemy-dropped dye crafting materials cannot be placed (Red/Cyan/Violet Husks, Purple Mucos, Black Ink). When they are placed, they occupy space as a one tile, even though most of them look larger or taller than one tile (same happens to Strange Plants).
  • Basic and Combined Dyes only affect the hue of an armor's color, but not the saturation level (i.e. how vibrant the color is). This means that armor and clothing that are dull in color, such as Ninja clothes, Necro armor, and Reaper costume are relatively unaffected by these dyes. Compound Dyes, however, override an armor's color completely, so they do not have the same problem.
  • Some white/silver colored clothing items, such as the Mrs. Claus Heels, will not dye properly with a basic dye, but will take on the desired color when a combination that features Silver Dye is applied.
  • Desktop version It takes at least 170 Strange Plants to obtain 15 of each dye (3 dye per plant) reward for 13 dye slots (Likely much more, since obtaining many repeat rewards from the Dye Trader is common.)
  • Desktop version Dyes with a small blue orb in their icon have a unique animation.
  • Desktop version The lid of a dye container seems to indicate some things about the type of dye:
    • A dark gray lid indicates basic dyes
    • A silver lid indicates Bright dyes
    • A blueish gray lid indicates multicolored/gradient dyes, with a deeper blue lid for Intense dyes
    • A checkered lid indicates a compound dye, with dark being __ and black, light being __ and silver, and bluish being __ flame and black
    • A green lid indicates glowing
    • A gold lid indicates the dye is reflective
    • A purple lid indicates animated dyes or other special effects
    • A red lid is reserved for Team dye
  • Dye also changes the appearance of the player's helmet on the map
  • Living Flame Dye can cause mounts and railcars to turn invisible
  • for armors (such as meteor armor) the trails will reflect the dyes color. so if you have blue dye, pink dye, and yellow dye on an armor it will split to where it shows trails of the three colors
  • Oddly, there is no white dye, however bright silver can sometimes be an alternative.

Tips

  • All dyes and items used to create them sell for 20 SC, so a beginning character should pick them up whenever encountered to sell them even if they aren't interested in the dye itself.

History

  • 1.3.4.4: Some dye items rarity colors tweaked.
  • 1.2: Introduced.
    • Items that were called dyes previously for crafting have been changed to thread.
