How to color a creature

1

Look directly at the creature you want to paint. Open the console with ~. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first.

2

Run cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>. The region is 0–5 (which body part depends on the creature); the Color ID is from the list below. Set the region box and copy — the command is ready.

3

Press Enter — that region recolors instantly. Repeat for each region to fully repaint a creature. Color ID 0 leaves a region as-is.

There's no Color-ID command for your own character or buildings — SetTargetDinoColor is the only one that takes these IDs, and it targets whatever creature you're looking at.

ARK Color ID List

Set the color region, then every Copy gives you that exact command. Type to filter by name or ID, or pick a palette. 227 colors — 100 base palette, 127 dye colors.

Region 0–5 picks which part of the creature recolors — it varies per species. The base palette (IDs 1–100) is the classic dino colors; the dye colors match ARK's "Coloring" dye items.

Dyes & coloring items

ARK has 127 dye "Coloring" items, each tied to one of the color IDs above. The wiki doesn't publish their GFI codes, so to spawn the dye items search the Dyes category in our ARK item ID tool. To paint a creature directly, you don't need dyes at all — just SetTargetDinoColor with the color's ID.

ARK Color ID FAQ

How do I change a creature's color in ARK?
Look at the creature, open the console with ~, and run cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>. For example cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 sets the creature's region 0 to magenta (Color ID 6). Find any color's ID and swatch in the searchable list above. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first.
What are color regions in ARK?
A creature has up to 6 color regions, numbered 0 to 5 (Region 0 through Region 5). Not every creature uses all six regions, and which body part each region maps to (e.g. 'body main', 'fins', 'spine') differs per creature — check the individual creature's wiki page for its region map.
Is there a setcolor command for my character or buildings?
Not one that uses Color IDs. No verified Color-ID-based 'setcolor' command exists in ARK. Player/character coloring (SetPlayerColor) uses percentage sliders, not Color IDs, so it is intentionally omitted. The only verified command that takes a Color ID is SetTargetDinoColor below.
What does Color ID 0 do?
Color ID 0 tells the game to leave that region unchanged — it's not a real color. Use it to skip a region. Real colors start at ID 1.
How do I spawn dyes in ARK?
The 127 "Coloring" entries in the list above are ARK's dye colors. To spawn the dye items themselves, use a GFI code from our ARK item ID tool — search the Dyes category there. The IDs here are for painting creatures directly with SetTargetDinoColor.
