Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it needs no skill level, using 3 × Redberries and 5 × Coins. There is one other recipe below. Where the materials come from: Redberries (sold by Wydin's Food Store for 3 coins); Coins (sold by Spy Club for 1 penguin points). 20 recipes use Red dye, including Brown dye, Cape (red) and Chaos star mural. Red dye is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 3 coins, which is 3 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
