Ironman verdict
104 recipes use Shadow dye, including Ascension crossbow (shadow), Augmented ascension crossbow (shadow) and Augmented blightbound crossbow (shadow). Shadow dye is members-only. 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 300,000 coins.
