From my perspective, your reply was good. The reason you joined the thread was that @Kikigirl summoned you (using her powerful @Barnes spell) which lead you to recall a fun memory and tell a story. Sure it was a digression but digressions and tangents are part of good discussions.

Thank you for that kind offer, but funnily enough I don’t need it any more. I solved it in my own bull-headed way.

Since making that first post I jumped on single-player, made a raised platform in creative mode, spawned whole bunch of thralls & armor/clothes (like a whole bunch, enough to drop my frame rate in that base) and stubbornly brute-forced my way through trying many, many, many things and making a spreadsheet of what I like & dislike. Now I have a bunch of pre-configured combinations that I can use at-will, and a list of 47 dye colors that I’ll dump on the ground and never look at again. I wouldn’t exactly say it was 20 hours “well spent”, but at least I won’t be irritated every time I try to dye something going forward.

It’s a pain-point that FunCom should never have allowed to exist but until the time comes that they overhaul the coloring system I have my spreadsheet to save me from my own personal pain.

The moral of the story: Everything’s better with spreadsheets. :slight_smile:
