Terraria Dyes

Dyes recolour your armor and accessories — drop one into a dye slot to tint whatever sits in the matching equipment slot. Basic dyes are crafted from plants and gems at a Dye Vat, while the flashiest come from turning Strange Plants in to the Dye Trader.

Frequently asked

How do dyes work in Terraria? +

Each armor and accessory slot has a matching dye slot. Place a dye there to recolour whatever is equipped in that slot — it is purely visual and never changes stats.

How do you get rare dyes in Terraria? +

Craft basic dyes from herbs, gems and Bottled Water at a Dye Vat. Rare animated dyes like Prismatic and Living Rainbow come from handing Strange Plants to the Dye Trader for a random reward.
