Tan Coloring — Detailed Guide
Dyeing gear, structures and creatures
As a dye, Tan Coloring lets players recolor armor, weapons, saddles, structures and creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The in-game text says: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." According to the ARK Wiki, it colors the regions of armor, weapons and saddles, and once loaded into a 
Paintbrush or a 
Spray Painter it paints structures and creatures. Each unit is single-use.
The recipe in each game
Tan Coloring is crafted in a Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker. A craft takes 10 seconds, gives 2 XP and yields 5 units. The wiki's main recipe, used in ASE, is:
GunpowderFor ASA the wiki lists a different mix: 2 each of 
Cianberry, 
Verdberry, 
Magenberry, Amarberry, Tintoberry and Azulberry, plus 1 Water.
Weight and loot
A unit weighs 0.1, and with up to 100 in a stack a full stack weighs 10. In all, 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.
