The Hue Center is an immovable decorative object that opens the server-wide hue selection menu when you double-click it. Use it to recolor items, pets, and your own hair from a palette of 3000 hues.
Accessing the Gump
Double-click the Hue Center while standing within 2 tiles to open the hue list. If you are too far away, you will see “That is too far away.”
You can also open the same menu from anywhere using the player command [HueCenter.
Hue Credits
Every character has a personal Hue Credits balance that is saved with your character. Credits are spent when you apply a hue:
| Target | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Item in backpack or worn | 1 credit | Item must be on your person |
| Self (hair and facial hair) | 5 credits | Dyes both hair and facial hair together |
| Pet | 5 credits | Pet must be controlled by you |
If you have zero credits when you try to dye something, you will see “You have no hue credits. You can recharge them by obtaining a hue credit deed.” and nothing is dyed.
Check your current balance at any time with the [HueCredits command.
Hue Range
The hue list contains hues numbered 1 through 3000, shown 25 per page across 121 pages. The menu provides:
- Page-up and page-down arrows to move through the list.
- A “jump to hue” text entry. Numbers entered are clamped to the 1–3000 range.
- A Reset row that lets you set a target's hue back to
0. Reset follows the same target rules and credit costs as a normal dye. - Per-row Dye and Test buttons.
Hues outside the 0–3000 range are rejected with “You may only use hues 0-3000.”
Test (Preview) Function
Each row has a Test button that lets you preview a hue at no credit cost. The preview can target:
- An item in your backpack. Items not in your backpack are rejected with “The item must be in your backpack to preview the hue.”
- A pet you control. Other creatures are rejected with “That is not your pet.”
The target is recolored for 5 seconds and then automatically reverts to its original hue. Previews never consume credits.
Item Eligibility for Permanent Dye
A permanent dye is only applied when:
- The target is an item in your backpack or equipped on you. Otherwise: “You can only dye objects that are in your backpack or on your person!”
- The target is yourself (dyes your hair and facial hair).
- The target is a pet you control.
Ethereal mounts also have their mounted (transparent) hue updated to match, so the mount looks the same color whether stored or being ridden.
Any other target type returns “Invalid target.”
The Hue Center's tooltip lists the three things it can dye:
- Pets
- Items In Backpack
- Target Self To Dye Your Hair
Hue Credit Deed
The Hue Credit Deed +1 is a blessed deed (weight 1.0) used to add credits to your balance.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Hue Credit Deed +1 |
| Blessed | Yes |
| Weight | 1.0 |
| Credits granted per deed | +1 |
| Donation reward cost | 50 points |
To use it, double-click the deed while it is in your backpack. If it is not in your pack you will see “That must be in your pack for you to use it.” On use, the deed is consumed, your balance increases by 1, and you see “You now have N hue credit(s).”
Hue Credit Deeds are available from the donation rewards system at 50 donation points each.
Universal Dye Tub
The Universal Dye Tub is a separate blessed, securable item. It is not directly connected to the Hue Center: choosing a hue in the Hue Center menu does not automatically copy that hue onto a tub.
Once a tub has been set to a hue, it can be used to dye items and pets that color an unlimited number of times at no credit cost. Each use copies the tub's current hue onto the target.
Targets must be in your backpack or a pet you control. The Universal Dye Tub cannot be used on:
- Power Scrolls
- Bank Checks
- Gold
- Silver
- Shrink Items
- Another Universal Dye Tub
