Armor 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 Items are designed to be dyed; the whole thing doesn't re-tint the whole itemchange color, it modifies but just some designed aspect portion of it; sometimes the whole item, sometimes usually just an outline, or a stripe or swash across the centersash, depending on the designitem.
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. Dyes are found in various levels of rarity, and there will be some ultra-rare dyes. Dyes can not be [[salvage]]d[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-item-sockets-armor-dyes-and-hc-arena-looting/] though, so ones you are not going to use or trade can be sold, or dropped/ignored.
