Yellow dye

Orange dye
To make orange dye, you have to have made a Yellow Dye and a Red Dye first. Then open up your crafting inventory (The inventory one or the crafting table one is fine.) After that, you can either put the red dye on top of the yellow dye or vice versa. This makes 2 orange dyes.
Blue dye

Green dye
To make green dye, first you must obtain a block of cactus. Then you must smelt the cactus in a furnace. This also makes 1-2 green dyes.
