Mud Coloring is a dye used to tint equipment and building pieces in shades of brown. Admins use it to customize the appearance of player gear or to enforce a faction color scheme on a server.
Spawn it directly by item ID (405) or GFI code. Unlike some dyes, it has no blueprint variant, you receive the usable item directly.
