Two things I would like to see in a Dye system that aren't actually directly related to 'which dyes are okay with me', are:
1. Changes to the UI, I hate most Dye UI in games, even BDO where the actual preview and coloration is good, managing the dyes themselves sucks...
2. The ability to create Dye Wishlists from a potential Dye Preview.
I also like the idea of players being able to mix dyes to get the colors they want, which is a way to limit certain colors and not have the 'equal and obvious access to frighteningly bright colorations. As others have said, Materials looking correct works well, I find my immersion is affected moreso by 'This coloration makes the material of the item feel like it changed', and I feel like with all the graphical power and the pipeline used for it, we're beyond that now.
But I really need Dye Wishlists. To be able to 'spend time coloring a set or piece', then 'save that wishlist' instead of having to either write it down or remember it, to be able to have this interact with any 'Auction House' or the ability to leave it somewhere so that someone can sell them to me, or even if we don't want that to be automatic, at least see what I need so they can contact me about it...
It's too easy to overlook precise things such as 'the exact shade of purple I wanted for this specific piece's undershirt' in a game you're playing with a focus on so many other things.
