# Hey all!

Hope you guys are enjoying the AAC Heavyweight Savage (or at least trying to beat DDoS Savage).

I want to share a project I've been working on for the past two months.

It's called the XIV Dye Tools, a web-app for exploring and deep-diving into FFXIV's Dye Collection.

You can check it out here: [https://xivdyetools.projectgalatine.com](https://xivdyetools.projectgalatine.com)

# It comprises 7 tools:

* **Harmony Explorer**: Select a dye and view harmonies based on Color Theory.
* **Color Matcher**: Import an image, use the color picker (or extract a palette), and get results!
* **Accessibility Checker**: Simulate how selected dyes look in colorblindness vision types, and view contrast ratios for WCAG compliancy.
* **Dye Comparison**: Compare HSV and color distances of up to four dyes.
* **Dye Mixer**: Select two dyes and view a gradient with intermediate dyes in between.
* **Preset Palettes**: Create and share palettes with the community! (Must sign in with Discord or XIVAuth to use this component)
* **Budget Suggestions**: Select a dye and view similar dyes within a given price limit. Useful for finding alternates to expensive Cosmic Exploration dyes.

**Market Board features powered by Universalis.**

# FAQ

**What inspired you to build something like this?**

I originally wanted to build a tool to help me visualize and theorize the color harmonies of different dyes when making glamours. I know there are a lot of color-wheel generators out there, but I wanted to incorporate FFXIV's dye system into this one. This started out with just the Harmony Explorer, Color Matcher, and Mixer ... but then it grew from there.

**Is this free?**

Free and open-source!

**Does this have a Dark Mode?**

Yes! Also includes a few other themes as well.

**What languages does this site support?**

English, Japanese, French, German, Korean, Chinese

Note: While many of the translations are done using Google Translate (and I guess by extension, Google Gemini because Google is gonna Google), I try to make sure that in-game terminology is respected for each language. However, there might be a few oddities that may linger. If you speak other languages and notice something weird, please post the issue on my Discord server. I want to try to support all the languages supported by the game, so if FFXIV ever expands to other locales, then I'll try to support that language as well.

**I have other questions.**

Feel free to ask me almost anything, and I'll try to answer it within a day or two. You can also join my Discord where you can discuss about this tool (or anything FFXIV-related like glamours): [https://discord.gg/5VUSKTZCe5](https://discord.gg/5VUSKTZCe5)

Hi! I'm a glamour junky and built XIV Dye Tools, a site for conceptualizing color harmonies and gradients using FFXIV's dye collection.
