Tailor’s Gamble

Description

While most berries of the chromat oak are a dull black color (and unbearably tart at that), when grown under optimal conditions, they may occasionally produce a single berry that shines in every color of the rainbow. This berry is highly prized as its juice is a potent dye ingredient - capable of coloring an entire article of clothing despite being only the size of a grape. Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine exactly which color this prismatic fruit will impart until after the dye has set into the fabric, but some people enjoy the random chance and consider it to be a minor spectacle.

Effect. As part of preparing this herb, you must soak an article of clothing, a creature’s hair, or a length of fabric no larger than 3 square feet in area, into a solution of water and this herb. Once the herb has been applied, the soaked item is permanently dyed a certain color randomly determined by the table below.
