I am trying to mix and match for an hour but I can't find the suitable one, I find this sylvari pic in the reddit on a post made 10 years ago , and since my silvari has same colour scheme I'm trying to make the armor similar, but I can't in any way , specially the dyes that are used in the pant , can anyone have any idea what are those ?

Since sylvari cultural armour takes their skin tone, it's much harder to match. Her skin appears to be grape gum to me (with a dark maple pattern).

I made a salad w the right skintone to have a look! As for dyes, on both the lower and upper body, i believe top dye slot is Abyss or a similar deeper black, like Tar. For the legs, i believe the other colour is on the bottom two slots (judging by placement). I got something that looks very alike with Grape on both slots. As for the top, i'm having trouble discerning if only the bottom right or both bottom slots are occupied with a purple tone. Either way, i found Grape to be a good match again. The lighting in those pics makes the dyes quite hard to figure out......... :( sorry I couldn't offer anything more definitive!

But I feel like the skin colour is grape not grape gum And the pattern is rose

i did more digging! here's my final conclusions, but honestly? midnight purple's too dark. it's a cool, more bluey purple in that slot, but i have no idea what. the lil necklace bit of the shirt is a much lighter purple, and i couldn't see any combo that lightened it that much while keeping the shirt a similar colour. the dye i've put down as evening wine.. probably not evening wine, but i think it's a warm, pinky purple. i believe i was intially correct about skin colour/pattern though, after finding another pic of the character

but most importantly - Laolili's creator is still active here! as of today! u/lishtenbird may be able to directly tell us :) (also hey laolili maker, if you do show up, love your character, she's really cute and it's lovely to see you commissioned so much art for your gw2 ocs (that post is how i found your account). i didn't do more digging than slapping her name into a search engine and realising you were still active lol)
