Purple Coloring — Detailed Guide
Purple dye and how it is applied
Purple Coloring is a dye in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and each unit is used up when applied. Its description reads: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." Applied straight to armor, weapons or saddles, it tints their color regions; put into a 
Paintbrush or 
Spray Painter, it lets you paint structures and creatures.
Recipes in ASE and ASA
A 
Cooking Pot or 
Industrial Cooker turns out 5 at a time in 10 seconds, and our records give 2 XP per craft. In ASE the mix is:
- 9
Tintoberry - 9
Azulberry - 2
Charcoal - 1
Water
The ARK Wiki notes that ASA uses 12 
Magenberry and 1 Water instead.
Weight and loot
Each unit weighs 0.1, and with a stack size of 100 a full stack comes to 10. Our records count 44 loot crates that can contain it, among them Genesis Purple and Genesis Red on Genesis Part 2. The dye is listed on 9 maps: Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth, Aberration and Astraeos.
