{{Soon|Stay tuned for announcements about its release over at the {{dA|MothcatMarket}}!}} Dyes are items used to recolor portions of a Mothcat/Subspecies, Item, or Companion. Both MYO and Official Mothcats can be dyed.

'''Please note that these values are for solid dyeing only. See below for exceptions and techniques.'''
 
==Methods and Techniques==
 
=== Pre-Existing Markings ===
All pre-existing markings can be recolored with dyes without needing extra items. Markings can be "hidden" by coloring them with the same color as the surrounding fur.
 
=== New Markings ===
New markings can be added to Mothcats using [[Dye|Marking Primer]], in addition to any required dyes for colors.
 
=== Gradients ===
Regular dyes only offer "flat" and "solid" recolors. To add gradients, an [[Dye|Essence of Rainbow]] must be used.
 
=== Eyes ===
Eyes can be dyed by using [[Dye|Eye Primer]] along with a normal or egg dye. Egg dye is used when only the eye color is being changed, or if the new eye color is not otherwise being applied to the cat. Otherwise, the eyes are considered part of the cat's "area" for determining how many regular dye bottles are needed.
 
One Eye Primer changes one color in the eyes- it cannot be used to add more colors. More eye colors can only be added through trait changes (such as heterochromia for more iris colors, or colored scelra for the sclera).
 
Essences/Eggsences may not be used with Eye Primers- only "flat" colored dyes may be used.
=== Items ===
::* Rank S members may purchase up to three special dyes per month, total.
* If you want a darker or lighter shade of a color than the dye is you may be required to purchase additional black and/or white dyes to get your specific desired color.
 
==Self-Service Dyeing (Mothcats/Subspecies)==
* Users must update [http://mothchive.deviantart.com/ Mothchive] with updated images for Mothcats and subspecies' once the process has been approved (additional changes will not be accepted until the masterlist is up-to-date with the most current design).
* Dyes can be used to dye any existing markings and/or parts of a Mothcat, but '''cannot be used to create new markings without a Marking Primer'''. Dyes cannot create new gradients without a Essence of Rainbow
* Eyes can only be recolored with an Eye Primer and the appropriate dye.
* Self Service Appraisals may be requested for:
** Cats you own, with no restriction
** Cats you don't own, but are either up for public trade or you are in private talks for, with the conditions of:
*** You must be able to provide proof of the (potential) trade at staff request
*** If the appraisal is being submitted publicly, it must have the permission of the current owner attached. (You are also welcome to privately note staff about trade appraisals.)
*** Users suspected of using this system to harass other members may be warned at staff discretion.
* In cases where you are reverting to the ''exact previous design'' of a cat, you may request to use the previous art of the cat, if applicable.
** Previous designs/art are available on the cat's chive page.
** Please use the desired art as your "new" base, and make it clear you're intending to switch back to that design.
** Staff may choose to deny art reversion requests, in the case of extreme ongoing issues or extenuating circumstances.
