About Light Gray Dye

Light Gray Dye is one of the sixteen dye colors, used when you want a softer shade than plain gray. Like other dyes, you can apply it directly to sheep, or use it to color wool, beds, banners, carpet, glass, terracotta, concrete powder, candles, and shulker boxes. You can also combine it with leather armor in a crafting grid to change the armor's color.

It works the same as other dyes: put it beside the target item in a crafting grid, or right-click a sheep to dye its wool before shearing.

How to get Light Gray Dye

You get Light Gray Dye mainly by crafting. One Azure Bluet, Oxeye Daisy, or White Tulip gives one Light Gray Dye. These flowers are common in plains and flower forests, so they are easy to gather early. You can also mix one Gray Dye with one White Dye to create two Light Gray Dye. It is not found in chests, so crafting is the reliable route.
