The Coloring Station is a craftable base machine in Enshrouded that lets you make dyes and change the color of your armor. In the game’s own words, it is “A factory that enables the production of color palettes and colorizes your clothes.” You build it through the Alchemist once he is living at your base.
Quick answer: Save the Alchemist and settle him at your base. Once he is there, craft the Coloring Station from 8 Wood Planks, 10 Fired Bricks, 2 Metal Sheets and 2 Linen.
Craft the Coloring Station at the Alchemist
The recipe sits with the Alchemist, so he needs to be rescued and settled at your base before you can build anything. Once he is there, gather the four materials and talk to him to craft the station.
Make color palettes at the station
Pick Produce Color Palettes to craft the dyes you will later spend on armor. The station holds 73 palette recipes, and each one produces 5 palettes over 300 seconds. Every palette is built from a single base ingredient plus a set of colorants.
| Base ingredient | Palettes using it |
|---|---|
| Shroud Sludge | 18 |
| Magma Gel | 14 |
| Shroud Vapor | 11 |
| Nitrate | 11 |
| Goo | 7 |
| Ammonia Gland | 7 |
| Shroud Liquid | 2 |
| Coal Powder | 2 |
| Wood Acid | 1 |
Here is how several of the recipes come together. Each line lists the inputs and the output count:
- New Moon: 1 Shroud Vapor, 2 Obsidian Dust, 2 Stapelia Starflower, 1 Granite makes 5 palettes.
- Gold In The Water: 1 Shroud Sludge, 2 Indigo Plant, 1 Shroud Relic, 1 Daylily makes 5 palettes.

- Golden Ball: 1 Shroud Sludge, 1 Gold Dust, 2 Gold Bars makes 5 palettes.
- Snowfall: 1 Shroud Vapor, 2 Brittle Shroud Flakes, 2 Silver Dust, 1 Bonemeal makes 5 palettes.
Each palette has its own item text. Icy Brook reads: “An arrangement of cool grays and blues, reminiscent of an icy brook on a cloudy day.”
