Customization of robes at a tailor's.

Customization was a gameplay mechanic of Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. In the Tailor shops throughout all of the cities that 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 Italian cities, the 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 the Vaticano district) 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 Assassin recruits could be changed, though once an Apprentice reached the rank of Assassino, the only dye that was available to them was "Assassin White".

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