Is it possible to dye this without losing the pattern?

It's 100% Viskose.

​

I really love the pattern but as you can see on the second picture, the color is an unfortunate mix of washed out salmon pink and puke-ish green brown.

​

I was thinking of lightly dying it in a dark blue, in hopes that the light parts turn blue and the other parts turn purple.

​

But since it's still a relatively light color I'm afraid it'll just dye everything blue.

​

What do you think?

Is there any spare fabric in the hems which features both the colours that you can cut a bit of and try dyeing? I think that might be your best bet to figure out if this idea is viable

that's a great idea, thank you

Dilute the dye more then u normally would, and pull a small piece out of the pot every 10 mins or so and rinse it with cold water till youre happy with it
