Resulting Dye will have three color values, Red, Green and Blue. R=255 G=255 B=255 is pure white. You can combine Dye and the values will average out (although they will be about 2 points closer to grey across the board).

The higher the quality is, the brighter and less grey the colour will be.

The more difficult colours can not be made until after making some of the easier colours. Start with green, or maybe blue.
