Cyan Coloring — Detailed Guide
A dye for gear, structures and creatures
Cyan Coloring is a single-use dye in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In-game it says: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." Put directly on armor, weapons or saddles, it colors their dyeable regions. Loaded into a 
Paintbrush or a 
Spray Painter instead, it lets you paint structures and creatures.
Cooking it in each game
The dye is cooked in a 
Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker; a batch takes 10 seconds and produces 5, and our records give 2 XP per craft. The ASE recipe:
- 12
Azulberry - 6
Amarberry - 1
Sparkpowder - 1
Water
For ASA, the ARK Wiki gives a shorter mix of 12 
Cianberry and 1 Water.
Weight, stacks and where it turns up
One unit weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Our records count 44 loot crates that can contain Cyan Coloring, for example the Genesis Blue and Genesis Cyan crates on Genesis Part 2, and list it on 9 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and Astraeos. The ARK Wiki dates it to version 207.0.
