'''Customization''' was a gameplay mechanic of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]], ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] ''and ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''. In the [[Tailor]] shops throughout all of the cities that [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] visited, he could dye his clothing, although the possible color schemes depended on which city he was in.

At any city, Ezio could always switch back to the default color for free, though after buying a dye, it would not remain unlocked. This meant that if Ezio wished to switch back to a dye after buying a different one, it must be purchased again.

== Renaissance ==
During his time visiting various [[Italy|Italian]] cities, the [[Assassin's Creed II Achievements|achievement]] "''Perfect Harmony''" could be unlocked by dying Ezio's clothes with both "Wetlands Ebony" and "Wetlands Ivory". Both of these color schemes were available through tailors in [[Romagna]] or [[Forlì]].

In [[Rome]], there were new dyes available, with each district, except for the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]], offering new colors. Also, instead of the colors always matching, both the outfit and cape could be dyed two different colors. In addition, the colors of Ezio's [[Apprentices|Assassin recruits]] could be changed, though once an Apprentice reached the [[Ranks|rank]] of ''Assassino'', the only dye that was available to them was "Assassin White".

[[Constantinople]] also had new dyes to offer, though they did not vary from district to district, with all being available from any Tailor shop.

== Dyes ==

Dyes often had a common characteristic, which was displayed by a prefix on their names, which stated where the dye originated from. Some of these prefixes were:

*"Florentine" for [[Florence]].
*"Tuscan" for [[Tuscany]] ([[Monteriggioni]] included).
*"Wetlands" for [[Romagna]].
*"Venetian" for [[Venice]].
*"Roman" for Rome.

== Trivia ==
{{GalleryBox|Customization}}
*The achievement "Perfect Harmony," which is earned through dyeing Ezio's outfit Wetlands Ebony and then Wetlands Ivory, is a clear reference to Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's "''Ebony and Ivory''" hit, in which the first line of the track is "Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony."
*Even if the [[Armor of Altaïr]], [[Armor of Brutus]] and [[Armor of Ishak Pasha]] were dyed, the color of the robes (save the inside of the hood) would not change.
*Despite the fact that Ezio changed his robes in the novels, and that certain colors were visually better for blending in with certain crowds (e.g. red to blend in with cardinals), dyeing robes had no effect on gameplay whatsoever.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', in the menu for clothing dyes, "Caspian Teal" has the same picture as "Algerian Silver", despite the actual dyes being different.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'', if the robes were dyed, they would revert to the original color during cutscenes.
**However, the color of some parts of the robes, such as the trim, would stay the same. This suggests that it may be a bug that could be patched in the future, thereby maintaining the dyed color throughout cutscenes.
