A third group of dyes are only available from ARR Tribal Vendors.
A fourth set of dyes are bought from Enie in The Firmament (12,14) with 
Skybuilder's Scrip from the Ishgardian Restoration, or from the Horrendous Hoarder with 
Seafarer's Cowries from Island Sanctuary.
Lastly, General-purpose or Green dyes are only acquired very rarely from Quick Exploration Retainer Ventures (via the 
Venture Coffer lootbox).
- These last ones have an untradeable equivalent that can be bought on the Final Fantasy XIV Online Store for real money and produce the same colors.
All but the last set are always singular flat color tones. A subset of the last set (in the Dye window grouped as the last set also) offers colors with a metallic shining look.
Usage
To dye a piece of armor, click on the Dye icon in the Actions & Traits menu or right-click the desired equipment and select the Dye option.
- Dyes can be removed from armor by using the item named
Terebinth, bought from a dye vendor.

snow white, 
rolanberry red and 
metallic red.
Dual Dyes
Beginning in patch 7.0, certain pieces of equipment have two dye channels, allowing two separate dyes to be applied, each dyeing different parts of the item. Gear that is compatible with two dyes will have two dye tabs displayed in the dyeing interface. Additional equipment will be made compatible with two dye channels in future patches.
