Housing Dyes in Patch 12.1

Patch 12.1 rebuilt the whole dye system. 87 different dye and pigment items became 9 universal dyes, and the palette grew to 77 colors. This page has every color, what your old dyes turn into, and a way to preview any shade on any item before you spend a single dye.

What's actually changing

Three big moves, all aimed at the same problem: dyes ate your bags and crafting them was a chore.

One dye per color family

Instead of a separate item for every shade, you carry one Purple Housing Dye and pick Void Violet, Faded Mana or Aethril Pink at the moment you apply it. A Red Housing Dye covers Petal Pink. The Teal family retires; its shades move into Blue and Green.

Herbs go straight into dyes

The pigment middle step is gone. Bring herbs to your neighborhood dye station, click it, get dyes. Your character needs Alchemy or Inscription at any skill level, and there are no recipes to learn or manage.

Your old dyes convert 1:1

On your first login after the patch, Hestia Forlath (an apprentice painter in Silvermoon) mails you the new universal dyes, one for one by color family. Five Void Violet Dyes become five Purple Housing Dyes. Nothing is lost.

The 9 dye families, every color in the game

Each family below is one item in your bags. Colors with a NEW badge were added in 12.1. Click any color to browse decor in that shade in our catalog, or open a dyeable item there and cycle through all 77 colors on its 3D model.

The three "Dark" colors have a story

Housing launched with a lighting bug that made dyed decor glow slightly in its own color. Patch 12.0.5 fixed the bug, and thousands of already-dyed rooms suddenly looked different. Players wanted the old moody look back, so instead of un-fixing the bug, 12.1 ships three new colors that recreate it on purpose.

Quick answers

Is there a Pink Housing Dye?
No. Some early reports listed one, but the live item data says otherwise: Petal Pink is in Red, Aethril Pink is in Purple, and Gilnean Rose stays in Red. Nine families, and Pink isn't one of them.
Are dyes account-wide or collectable now?
No. Dyes stay consumable: one dye per application, stacks of 1,000, freely tradeable on the Auction House. There is no dye collection tab in 12.1.
Do I lose my Teal dyes?
No. The teal shades stay in the game and simply cost a Blue or Green Housing Dye now. Any Teal items in your bags get converted with everything else.
Which items can be dyed?
311 decor items have dye slots in 12.1. Of the 48 newly dyeable items, 47 are catalog-visible. Use the Dyeable filter in the catalog to browse the available records.
How do I preview a color before dyeing?
Open any dyeable item in the Housing Hub and use the dye wheel on its 3D model. You can cycle all 77 colors on the actual item, for free, before you spend anything in game.
