Something - or multiple somethings - apparently shattered while in this dyemaker's pack, staining much of the contents and soaking through the material of the bag itself. At least it seems to be mostly dry. Mostly.
This pack contains 80 new and unique reusable dyes, and a miraculous, perpetually half-empty (half-full to an optimist) bottle of dye remover. Now you no longer need to stock up on the single-use bottles on the off-chance Seafloor Blue does not complement your eyes.
All items have a unique appearance, both to differentiate from any other dye mods you may have, and to accurately depict the colors of the dyes within.

UPDATE: 2.0
Several months later, here is the 2.0 update of Disastrous Dyes!
No special steps necessary to update, just drag the new mod into your mod manager and you should be good to go.

NEW IN 2.0:
- Clean Pack of Disastrous Dyes: An easy way to recycle the contents of the bag for updates!
- Practical Pigments: A variety of simple dyes with basic brown leather.
- Tactical Tints: The same as Practical Pigments, but with black leather.
- A handful of miscellaneous dyes. (9)

Clean Pack of Disastrous Dyes:
If you already have a bag and don't want to track down a vendor or a tutorial chest to see the new dyes, you can simply use the Infinite Dye Remover (not any other dye remover) on the Disastrous Pack of Disastrous Dyes to make it a Clean Pack of Disastrous Dyes, and the inventory will reset. Just close the old bag and reopen the new bag, and your new dyes will be right there!

IMPORTANT: If you have anything else in the pack at the time you do this, you will lose it when the inventory recycles. Double check that you didn't store the netherstones in there for some reason.

If you want to reset the inventory again, in the event of future updates or just to replace any dyes you misplaced, simply use the Infinite Dye Remover on the Clean Pack to... unclean it. It will make a new Disastrous Pack. Don't ask me if it makes sense; I just wanted a way to make it the Disastrous Pack again. To reiterate, this resets the item itself, so the contents will be lost and the intended contents respawned in a new bag, so do not store anything you can't afford to lose in the bag if you intend to recycle the contents like this. Technically you could use this process to generate a ridiculous amount of dyes by removing them from the pack and just resetting the inventory infinitely, but they're only worth about a gold each. If this is how you want to tediously break Baldur's Gate's economy, have fun.


Practical Pigments and Tactical Tints:
This update adds 57 new dyes in addition to the 24 in the original mod.
48 of these new dyes are Practical Pigments and Tactical Tints - Very basic color schemes in a variety of colors, made to look good, or at least inoffensive, on the widest variety of clothes and armor possible. This was an idea I got from the number of people in the comments saying they were excited to see I had included a simple-ish dye in their preferred color. I tried to include a variety to have something for everyone. That said, I know it's literally impossible for me to have gotten everyone's favorite color. SO:

If there is a color you'd like to see as a practical/tactical dye (either an existing dye of mine, an in-game dye, or a specific color you'd provide either a reference image or color ID code for), just ask! It's a super simple process. At the moment, those are the only dye requests I can promise I'll take. Any requests will be done in batches with the rest of any updates I make for the mod.

Known isssue: The vanilla game has a weird pink tint on a lot of leather textures, which becomes extremely obvious with the white leather on Clean Slate White and Doomspeaker Alt, and less obnoxiously on the intentionally purplish leather on Gentle Twilight. There's nothing I can do about this without editing every armor texture myself, but I provided the alternate Clean Slate White for a darker gray leather that doesn't turn out so pink. The level of pink varies from armor to armor, but I tried to choose a tint that looked good across a broad range of textures.

Modeled here by the palest elf I could find as a point of comparison, you can see the alternate Clean Slate White doesn't completely fix the pink tint, but makes it look a bit more neutral:



The Disastrous Pack of Disastrous Dyes can be found in the tutorial chest and at multiple vendors throughout all three acts.
ACT ONE:

ACT TWO:

ACT THREE:


If you would like to summon the bag through the console instead of tracking down a vendor, here is the command:
Osi.TemplateAddTo("40bb4d99-6a38-4409-a91b-683af5b20273", GetHostCharacter(), 1, 1);

Now in 2.0, I've added AV Item Shipment Framework compatibility (not a requirement to use this mod, but it's an extremely convenient system that I can't recommend enough), and also added files with alternate treasure tables: one where the pack only shows up in the tutorial chest (no vendors), and one where it will not show up in the tutorial chest or vendors, meaning it can only be obtained through ISF or through console commands. Only install one file, as they will overwrite each other if you drop them in the load order at the same time.




This mod would not have been possible without the help of the tutorials and resources below:
Padme4000's P4 Custom Dyes (Includes Sample Template)
AstralSprout's Custom Dye Mod Guide
AnteMaxx's Sample Equipment Mod

Huge shoutout as well to Better Dyeing for making the process of testing and screenshotting these dyes so much easier.


Thanks especially to my friend Marcus for his support throughout making this, and to Tommy the Goodboi Tomato. Keep on rolling.
