Aethelwine 	Something in a cream...? Oh, whatever shall I do? This dress... I just can't seem to finish it.
Aethelwine 	Oh, the design is flawless. Absolutely flawless, of that I have no doubt. But I simply cannot settle on a color for the life of me!
Aethelwine 	How would you like to conduct a bit of field research for me? I'm dying to know what color the ladies of Ul'dah are wearing these days─especially on the Hustings Strip.
Aethelwine 	And when you're finished, please call on Leucu at the Alchemists' Guild. The woman is a wizard with dyes. Have her cook up whatever color you find is most popular.
Dodomun 	What color is in fashion? Well, I must say, I'm just back from Gridania, and I find there's a certain verve to verdant livery... <sigh> Green, you bloody idiot!
Talk 	Time was, the Sultansworn were the finest warriors in Ul'dah. But they've since grown as feeble and flaccid as the royal family itself. <spit> Hells, they'll not even be a match for the Brass Blades before long.
Fastred 	Best color for a dress? Well, you know what they say: once you go black, you never go back.
Talk 	We Sultansworn have vowed to put the safety of the sultana and her house before all else! But I sure could go for a sandwich...
Cordial Spider 	Yellow. What fairer color than that in the name of the fairest maiden? Yellow Moon... Oh, Yellow Moon, how my heart pines for you!
Talk 	Ahem... Speaking of colors, though... The fountain and plaza below are known as the Gold Court. In former days, many a royal gala graced its stones.
Bobolan 	There's never a shortage of white dresses on our Ul'dahn ladies. Surely, it is the most comfortable color to wear under this murderous sun.
Talk 	<sigh> Just mentioning the treacherous heat causes fatigue... And my passion for alchemy is such that I oft forget to sleep. And so I have resolved to concoct a magical elixir─a potable that shall imbue the imbiber with the energy of a bull, red with waking rage! Sleep, begone!
Rururemu 	Red, ever and always! This is Ul'dah, my dear girl/boy, where the sun beats on your back with fiery fists, and the sins and sands are hot and unforgiving and everywhere at once. We Ul'dahns live for our passions, and our lust for life is surpassed only by our lust for lust!
Talk 	Didn't you hear me, girl/boy? Red's the only way to go in this city. Now, off with you! I've alchemical formulae to work out!
Cornell 	Personally, I've always had a thing for a motley of red and green overlaid with stripes of purple and dark brown.
Talk 	It's been months since I've joined the guild, yet they've taught me only the most basic alchemy. It's possible that seeing only my own questionable alchemical concoctions has influenced my taste in color palettes...
Aubelet 	The most popular color of late? Well, all colors have their merits, of course. But, if pressed, I'd have to say red.
Talk 	Beyond lies the upper tier of Ul'dah, home to nobles and aristocrats alike. Know that here the eyes of the Sultansworn are upon you at all times.
Teteshan 	Why, any color is perfectly fine for a dress, you silly thing. So long as it comes off easily at the end of the night!
Talk 	The royals strut about as though the sun shone out of their arses, but I hear life in the palace isn't nearly so sweet as they'd have us believe. Word is most merchants lead far fatter lives than any of the sultansblood.
Leucu 	You are here on behalf of the Weavers' Guild, are you not? Yes, Aethelwine said you'd be along. Well, what color is it to be, then?
Leucu 	It sounds as though you have two votes for red, one vote each for green, yellow, white, and black, one abstaining, and one vote for...a motley of red and green overlaid with stripes of purple and dark brown.
Leucu 	By no means a resounding victory, but I suppose red it shall be. I have some catalysts I've been saving for just such an occasion. Mark my words: I'm going to concoct the most vibrant red Ul'dah has ever seen!
Leucu 	Alchemy may look arcane and esoteric to the uninitiated, but it is grounded in naught but science and experimentation. Indeed, I daresay it does more to advance culture and civilization than nigh any other discipline.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
