Template talk:Dye gallery

This is clever. Will never understand magical templates, but one that can dump a picture of Moe Howard in a trenchcoat onto any page is something special. — snograt 22:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

When I first read this, I had no idea what you were talking about. But haha, that is SO not my intent. You've perverted everything! Previously Unsigned 12:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Dye#.22Real_life.22_examples - similar discussion I had on dye templates, not sure where else to continue, but I will look around and if I find anything will also update so we have one central area to discuss. Or maybe even here will be ok. User_talk:NhiaThia#Dyes as well. Previously Unsigned 12:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Guess I'll just make this the "official" talk page. Previously Unsigned 12:28, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

AKA the darkest dark and whitest white? How about we leave those be for the time being until we get the rest of the pictures of dyes up, I may have an idea of how to deal with those. - Do_odleplex 17:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

As in, dyes with non-standard gallery images too. -Chieftain Alex 17:46, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I say move the "comparison" down to the trivia section, fix the gallery. Additionally I was playing with comparison tables to be something like this, so we don't have to remake images all the time, just use what we already have:

Black Dye	Abyss Dye	Shadow Abyss Dye	Midnight Fire Dye
