Brown Coloring — Detailed Guide
A brown dye for gear and buildings
Brown Coloring is a dye in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description says: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." Put on armor, weapons or saddles, it changes the color of their regions. Loaded into a 
Paintbrush or a 
Spray Painter, it is used to paint structures and creatures instead.
Recipe in each game
The dye is made in a 
Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker. A batch takes 10 seconds, gives 2 XP and yields 5 Brown Coloring. In ASE the ingredients are:
- 9
Tintoberry - 6
Amarberry - 3
Azulberry - 2
Charcoal - 1
Water
For ASA the ARK Wiki gives another mix: 2 each of 
Verdberry, 
Magenberry, 
Cianberry, Tintoberry, Azulberry and Amarberry, plus 1 Water.
Carrying and finding it
Each unit weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Brown Coloring also turns up as loot: 44 crate types can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates on Genesis Part 2. Our records list it on 9 maps, from The Island and Aberration to Lost Colony and Astraeos.
