Armor/clothing dyes are a new feature in Diablo III, revealed by Jay Wilson at Gamescom, in August, 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-indiablo.de-part-two/]

There will be about 15 different colors of dye, which players can apply to their character's armor. Dyeing (not [[death|dying]]) will change the color of an item in some aesthetically-pleasing way. It doesn't just re-tint the whole item, it changes modifies some designed aspect of it; sometimes the whole item, sometimes just an outline, or a stripe or swash across the center, depending on the design. Armor dyeing is purely cosmetic; there's no performance benefit; you can't get camouflage or anything like that. It's just something for players to have fun with and give their character some originality.

It's not known how many pieces of armor can be dyed; possibly just large pieces like [[body armor]]File:Armor-dye-progression.jpg|thumb|500px|Armor dye examples, [[helmsshow in a Blizzcon 2010 panel.]]Armor dyes can be found or purchased, and [[shields]]there will be rarer dyes as well as more common ones. For instance, a shade of red may be found all the time, but perhaps [[boots]], [[gloves]], [[bracers]], [[shoulder pads]]a darker shade might be much less common, and possibly [[weapons]] as well? Details have not yet been revealedthus all the more desired.

ItDyes are single use; when you use a color on any piece of armor, it's also unknown if each piece can be dyed individually, or if this is more a way for characters gone. You'll need to change find multiple samples of the hue of their entire outfit. In other words, can clown costumes be created? No one knows, though Jay Wilson has said previously that a design goal in Diablo III was for characters same dye to look better in their outfits. More complementary colors; e.g. the color all of your equipment the armor would modify or change the other item's colors to matchsame hue.

 ==Official Comments== More information about how dyes will be obtained and how they will function in the game came from the Diablo 3 community manager, [[Bashiok]], who answered some fan questions about armor dyes after they were revealed at Gamescomin August 2010.
