# Right-click on water in container and select ''Create > Miscellaneous > <color> dye''.
* Different colors of dye can be mixed together to make other colors by pouring one container into another. More exact colors can be obtained by mixing cochineals, copper lumps, or woad into an existing dye. Activate the item, right-click, and select ''Mix''. If you fx. , for example, have a red dye, and add some copppercopper lump, it will gradually turn into orange. Adding even more copper, and you will get a yellow color.
* When making dye with metal lumps, there is no need to [[heat]] them up first.
* When using more water or tannin than metal the amount of metal determines the amount of dye produced. Sometimes a water to metal ratio that's not exactly 1:1 will only use the same amount of water as metal and leave some water in the container. You will get the message that ''Not all the dye would fit'' and the dye is lost. Therefore it is advised to use an exact 1:1 ratio.
