About FaerunColors
Author & Journey
Hey..! :D I'm Alex, and the fact that you're on this page doesn't feel real to me.
Everything I earn from FaerunColors and the viewer goes to the same place it always has.
This is Sombra. He has hip dysplasia, and the vet bills add up more than I'd like. A lot of what I do with FaerunColors exists because of him. The support I've received from this community has gone directly to his care, and I don't have the words to explain how much that means to me. Seriously. Every single contribution has made a difference for him, and I'll never take that for granted.
This viewer exists because people kept telling me there was no good way to see what a dye actually looked like. You'd install something, load the game, and hope for the best. So I built it.
But the mod came first. I couldn't get my Shadowheart to look the way I wanted, the vanilla dyes weren't enough, so I started messing with the game files. I had no idea what I was doing. But I got one dye to work and uploaded it thinking maybe a handful of people would try it. A few did. They asked for more, so I made more. Then more people showed up. Then more.
It kind of snowballed from there.

An astonishing number of dyes, each of them popping in a way that's completely different from vanilla dyes, without standing out as garish or out of place in the world.
GameRant
Adds a plethora of new dyes that work exceptionally well with both vanilla game items and modded items. Many of these dyes are custom-tailored to fit certain gods and deities.
ScreenRant
"I have other dye mods, but I genuinely only actually use yours."
"obsessed with this as it is!! thank you so much for this"
"The Sune palette was the ONLY suitable color scheme for my character. I love these colors so much!"
"It would save me hours of time."
"Your mod is one I just cannot live without! I wanted to thank you for gifting us such amazing work!"
"Faerun Colors is one of my two favorite mods so having this cheat sheet to know what each dye makes a given armor set look like is a god send."
"This is probably the best dye mod available. The Tempus and Mystra dyes are my favs!"
"not only is your dye mod fantastic and I use it for every single playthrough, this tool is also going to be so incredibly helpful."
"The Myrkul color. I can't even. I will be dedicating a whole playthrough for it."
"As an avid user of your dyes, just wanna say thank you!!! And this is awesome and just what I've wanted for so long!"
"These Dyes are absolutely wonderful and this is a must have mod whenever I play."
"I just saw this yesterday when pulling up the mod page to pick which dyes to test. Extremely cool and will definitely save me a lot of time!"
"This mod has been a staple in my load order since it came to console."
"Pretty sure at least 10 hours of my first run so far has been nothing but me dressing up the characters and doing colour coordination."
"Ooh this is such a killer idea, nice!"
"This mod is so good I don't even play the game any more. I just stay and play with different dyes and armours."
"So glad this mod is available for console as well as PC. I could not function without these dyes."
"My girlfriend can sit for half an hour just repainting clothes."
"You are my dream guardian"
"I may not always use an FC dye on every run, but I always make sure I have them."
"I am never playing without this again, thank you so much for such a fantastic mod!"
"This is gonna brick my brain. I'm never ever going to be able to leave camp anymore. Not until I've tried every single dye on every piece of armour worn by every party member."
"Loooove this mod! The variety of blacks and gothic colors and brilliant whites alone are fantastic! Loviatar is one of my favorites."
"This is my absolute favorite dye mod out there, you've really done some amazing work!"
The People Behind This
I built this whole thing myself. The mod, the viewer, the website, all of it. But I wouldn't be here without the people who believed in what I was doing before anyone else did. Cereals, PeachyyKeen, Kilay and Elmie kept supporting me when nobody else was. That kind of trust, especially early on, is something I'll never forget.
And then there's everyone who's posted feedback, reported bugs, sent screenshots, suggested ideas, or just installed the mod and enjoyed it. I can't list all of you, but I remember more names than you'd think.
Alex. 💛
