Dye
- "Dyeing" redirects here. For information on dying in-game, see Death.
Dye exists in only seven hues, plus black mushroom ink and whitefish. Dye is used to colour items: most commonly capes, but also certain quest items.
Standard dyes
Standard dyes can be used to dye capes and goblin mail. All of these standard dyes are sold in the Lletya seamstress shop for 6 or 7 coins.
Two primary colours (red, blue or yellow) can be mixed with each other to produce a secondary colour (orange, green or purple).

**A bottle of purple dye spawns south of the gap between East and West Ardougne. Very close to the Khazard Battlefield Spirit Tree, to the east, next to the bridge.
Pink dye
Pink dye is members-only and can be bought from Betty in the Magic Shop in Port Sarim for 20 coins, after you have completed The Hand in the Sand quest. It can be made during the quest by using redberries and white berries with a special vial of water.
Pink dye can be used to create a pink cape, craft a pink origami balloon and to make pink goblin mail.
Black mushroom ink
Black mushroom ink is members only and player made during the Shadow of the Storm, Land of the Goblins, and The Golem quests. It can be used to dye capes, desert robes, goblin mails, origami balloons, and the Silverlight sword.
Whitefish
A Whitefish is required to get the "bleach" to obtain the "blank colour" white. However, the "bleach" itself is not received as an item and it only colours goblin mail, to obtain white goblin mail, for use during the Land of the Goblins quest.

- Ghosts Ahoy
