While playing Baldur's Gate 3, you are able to truly make the game your own. You can create your perfect character and play the game exactly as you want to. You're able to make all the decisions and hold all the cards.
One thing you can do in the game that you may not realize is dye armor. This will let you take any piece of armor (even metal armor), and dye it to whatever color you want. This way, you can truly make the game your own. You can even dye companions' armor.
How To Dye Armor
Dying armor is pretty easy in the game. First, you will need to find dye. These dyes can be found at most shops or even in containers in the overworld. (You also get a special dye depending on which version of the game you purchased.) After you have found your dye, you need to click on the dye in your inventory. Then, you will see the option to combine (this is the first option). From there, drag the piece of armor that you want to dye into the box on the popup menu. Once you have done that, you can hit combine. If it doesn't allow you to click combine, then the item you're using is a special item that cannot be dyed.
You will be able to tell your dying process worked if you see the piece of armor change colors in your inventory. If you want to get rid of armor dye, all you need to do is purchase Dye Remover from most shops. Then, you will repeat the same process. After it is over, your piece will no longer be dyed.
All Armor Dyes
There are two types of dye—common and rare. They can both be found at shops, the only difference is that rare dyes will cost more and be harder to find. Here is every shade of dye available in the game.
