You only have to find a colored dye to change the color of your clothes in Baldur’s Gate 3. These items can be hard to find, but we’ve spotted some with traders or in the world. They seem rare during the first chapter of the game, but many more might appear during the late parts. To dye clothes, you have to do the following:

Open your inventory.
Select the dye and right-click on it.
Select combine.
A new window will open with the dye and an empty space.
Drag your armor piece to the empty set and combine it to dye it.

As you can see, this feature is relatively easy to use, but many players might miss it if they don’t know how to do it.

However, many NPCs to meet and interact with might have more of these items. There might be a chance to craft them, but we’ll have to wait to confirm this while playing further.
