Back on Catskills, one of the Vesper tailors (I think next to the bank) sold a very deep green cloth that we called Ranger Green. I can't seem to figure out the hue. Any chance someone can help a colorblind fella?
Hello and welcome Razor > captionUO > new > target = point at the object and the number of the color appears in the razor window)) Good game for You, and sorry of my English...
Ranger armor was a prize for the newbie tickets given away to new players in the ren era. You had to target someone else's deed, and I was always afraid to do that just in case some jerk ran off with it. I remember seeing a noob running around in a ranger tunic once and telling him he shouldn't wear that around even in trammel!
The green hue range around the lower 14XX numbers is historically called 'Zog hue'. Let's see if @Puck as rank highest Zog grunt knows Zog history and has some direct memory of it. Otherwise, you can simply google "ultima online zog hue" and find something like that: "Reposted from the books at Xanadu Library, Chesapeake, and several times on stratics. 1. Zog is the longest running historical SCAM in UO. It comes from a time early in UO when information was much more spotty than now- when the gamemaster-run plotline had a group named the Zog Cartel (who mostly DIDNT wear green) become renamed because of real life political reasons to the Followers of Armageddon (FOA). Scammers seized on this confusion to sell green cloth as having come from members of the Zog group, or more commonly and ridiculously to have come from the UO BETA (in which the world ended and nothing survived...). 2. Zog cloth is most often considered a murky green that you can get from killing NPC's and also sometimes directly in bulk quantity bolts from NPC Tailors. NPC clothing spawns in many many colors that arent otherwise obtainable. Go to work on some brigands or gypsies for a while and you WILL get some "zog", for free. In green colors from NPCs that players cant dye, I have found shades from hue 1419 to 1445 None of these facts have deterred less scrupulous folk from charging 100s or 1000s times more for green cloth and perpetuating total lies about its origins for super profit. There NEVER have been any clothing with "ZOG" in its title name. Zog cloth as a historical or rare item is completely fake in all its many shades." The hues exist on UOR and I own a good collection of them. They are time-intensive to farm though, you can't buy them from NPCs as above stated. I could sell you some yards for the right (ALOT) money, because that hue is from UOR BETA and ULTRA rare!!!
The hues are from left to right, the two greens. They actually do look nice with spined leather armor (what I like to call bootleg or poor man's ranger armor). I think it's a fairly common color from Bulk Order Deed (BOD) rewards.
The one to the right of your cursor is the one I am after. I remember BODs being a crafter type quest system. Am I correct? Looks like there is shadow colored cloth jn there tooooooo. What kind of crafter?

On Sonoma circa '98-'03 all ZOG members wore verite armor or similar hued cloth. I do not know the exact hue cloth we used, but it was a dye tub hue.
I felt like hue 2130 was the closest match to Ranger Armor's 1436: http://www.uorenaissance.com/player/439344 It's available as both a BOD reward cloth color, a mask dye, and looks like there's a few dozen sandals in that hue out there too.
