The Dye Trader is one of the eight NPCs introduced in the 1.2 version. The Dye Trader will spawn when there is a home available and the player has a Strange Plant in their inventory. It is not possible anymore to get the Dye Trader with the Yellow Marigold in a player's inventory, as this was only a feature in 1.2.

Strange Plant Quest
Speaking to the dye trader will show a "strange plant" quest. If the player chooses this option without having a strange plant, nothing will happen. However, if the player chooses it with a strange plant, they will have a random and rare dye.
