TotK Kochi Dye Shop: All 15 Dye Colors and Materials

In Tears of the Kingdom you still change your armor’s color at the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village, run by Sayge. The rules match Breath of the Wild: 20 rupees and five materials of one color, with 15 colors to choose from. This time the shop can also rework your paraglider with a new fabric. This page lists every material for each color (generated from the game data), the armor that cannot be dyed, and how to restore the original color. For the first game see BotW Kochi Dye Shop.

Where is the dye shop?

The Kochi Dye Shop is in Hateno Village, with four big bottles of colored dye standing above the door (Show on map). Sayge’s wife Senna greets customers outside, and Sayge works inside.

How much does dyeing cost and what do you need?

• 20 rupees. Sayge: “If you have any dye ingredients, it’s 20 rupees to dye an item…”
• Five materials of the chosen color. After you pick a color, Sayge lists the materials in your inventory that give it: “Choose five ingredients you’d like to use in your dye!” Materials of the same color can be mixed.

If you are short of a color, Sayge names two examples to look for, such as “I’ll need five bluish ingredients, like chillshrooms or blue nightshade” or “I’ll need five navyish ingredients, like luminous stones or bladed rhino beetles.”

How do you dye armor?

1. Wear what you want dyed. “Only the clothes you’re wearing that can be dyed will change color!”, all at once: “It’s the Hateno tradition to dye a person’s whole outfit, from head to toe, all at once!” For different colors on different pieces, wear one piece at a time and dye them separately.
2. Talk to Sayge and choose “Dye these clothes.”, then “Use these clothes.” or change first. If something you are wearing cannot be dyed he warns you (“You’re wearing some clothes you actually can’t dye!”), and those pieces stay as they are.
3. Pick a color. All 15 colors sit on one palette, with a preview of Link on the right.
4. Choose five materials and pay 20 rupees, and Sayge does the rest.

You cannot dye anything with nothing on; Sayge tells you to “Put some clothes on and we’ll talk!”

Which materials make each dye color?

The table is generated from the game data: every material is tagged with one dye color, listed in inventory order. Materials with their own page link to where to find them.

Colors worth knowing about:

• Navy is the hardest: only Bladed Rhino Beetle, Gleeok Frost Horn, Gibdo Wing and Luminous Stone.
• Peach has five: Wildberry, Rock Salt, Hearty Radish, Big Hearty Radish and the Blue-White Frox Fang.
• Light Yellow, Yellow, Green and Brown have the most. Light Yellow alone has 27, including the Brightbloom Seed you carry for the Depths; Green includes Zonai Charges, Zonaite and the Construct horns.
• Dragon parts go by dragon: Naydra’s are Light Blue, Dinraal’s Crimson, Farosh’s Light Yellow and the Light Dragon’s White.

Which armor cannot be dyed?

Most armor can be dyed. These pieces cannot (the game data does not mark them as dyeable):

The hero sets from amiibo and chests, the Royal Guard Set and the Dark Set cannot be dyed. Among single pieces, watch out for Champion’s Leathers, the Ancient Hero’s Aspect and the Tunic of Memories. Where every set comes from is in all armor.

Can you restore dyed armor to its original color?

Yes. Talk to Sayge and choose “Back to the original.” It costs 20 rupees (“All my services are just 20 rupees each!”) and no materials. Like dyeing, it only works on dyed pieces you are wearing.

Reworking the paraglider

The Tears of the Kingdom shop adds “Rework the paraglider.”: once you have the paraglider, you can replace its fabric with any fabric you have collected, also for 20 rupees. The first time you use the service, Sayge gives you a fabric to start with. For where fabrics come from, see amiibo rewards and the Hyrule Compendium; Sayge’s own quest, Photographing a Chuchu, also ends with a fabric.

How to get each of the 53 fabrics, grouped by source: paraglider fabrics.

How is it different from the Breath of the Wild dye shop?

• Same shop, owner, price and 15 colors.
• Far more materials: 225 in Tears of the Kingdom against 122 in Breath of the Wild. Brightbloom Seeds, Zonai materials and the many new horns make Light Yellow, Yellow, Green and Brown easy.
• The paraglider fabric service is new.
• The undyeable list changes; new pieces such as the Ancient Hero’s Aspect, the Tunic of Memories and the Horriblin Mask cannot be dyed.
