Here you will find the possible dyes that you can make in ARK: Survival Evolved. Dyes are created in a cooking pot, like most recipes, and will result in 5 dyes for each batch of ingredients. For each of the dyes, the table below will list the individual items that you need. However all dyes also require water, so you need to put a waterskin, water jar or canteen in the cooking pot in addition to the ingredients. Also be aware that you are not using spark powder as a fuel when creating a dye of which spark powder is not an ingredient: it might result in the wrong color if you do.

Usage

Dyes can be applied in numerous ways, depending on the items you are coloring. If it is for instance a piece of armor, weapon or saddle, you can simply drag the dye in your inventory to the item and select which part you want to have colored.

In case of walls or other structures, you will need to use a paintbrush or spray painter. The paintbrush can be used by dragging a dye onto it, equipping the paintbrush and swinging it at the structure. You can use the dye in the paintbrush more than once. The spray painter can be used by dragging the dye onto it, equipping the paintbrush and aiming it at the structure you want to have painting. Then left click to open the paint menu, or use the right click (alternate attack button) together with 1-6 pressed to paint the corresponding region of the structure
