One of the best ways to customize things in ARK Survival Ascended is Dye. While there are only a few ways to change the look of in-game items, you can use Dye to color your base, match the color of the saddle to your tame, and even use it to change your weapon's color.
Dyes are relatively simple to create, and the preparation time is also quite short. There is a wide range of Dyes that you can make using various berries.
While Dye can be made easily in ARK Survival Ascended, you must know its preparation process and usage, which will be explained in this article.

You can prepare Dye by mixing various ARK Survival Ascended berries with water in a Cooking pot.
