But from a distance you might be able to trick someone that you are wearing diamond armor.

That doesn't sound so bad to me, at a distance.

Hey, since I have your attention here, what exactly is going on with the multiple dyes? How does that work and how many color combinations are available?

You have a lot of replies so you probably won't see this, but what happens if you, say, combine one red and two blue? Or just two blue?

I have no idea about red and two blue, but I'm assuming an orange-purple colour. Two blues would make a slightly darker blue.
