Rockwell Recipes: Decorative Coloring — Detailed Guide

A Rockwell note about dye

Rockwell Recipes: Decorative Coloring is a recipe note in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. It explains how to cook coloring from berries, a coloring the note says works on cakes and also as dye for clothing and buildings. According to the ARK Wiki, these notes are not needed to craft anything; they only serve as a way to find the information inside the game. The wiki also warns that a note's text may not match the real recipe exactly.

What the note says

It opens with: "Not only is this berry-based coloring is great for decorating cakes, it also doubles as a dye for clothing and buildings." The steps that follow ask for:

  • 18 Berries
  • 1 to 3 of a chemical catalyst
  • water to submerge the mix
  • cooking in a Cooking Pot

For other colors, the note suggests changing which berries go in and how many, or swapping the catalyst for another, such as Charcoal or Gunpowder.

Finding the note

55 crate types in our records can contain it, among them the entries for the Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus and Alpha Fire Wyvern. Our database also lists a craft of 3 Thatch and 1 Fiber that takes 1 second and gives 0.1 XP. The note weighs 0.1 according to the wiki and does not stack; our records list it on 14 maps, from The Island to Fjordur.
