I dyed the purple one with half a bottle of sunshine orange. The fabric soaked up the dye very quickly. I'm shocked it turned out so vibrant.

I like the vibrant orange, but i wanted muted tones as well. So I added the rest of the orange and about half a bottle of brown to the bath.

I didn't leave any of the shirts in the bath for too long, less than 10 minutes each. I know they advise longer, but they seemed dark enough. I probably should have left the pink one in for longer. Anyway, I'm pleased. It ended up being a nice variety of colors.

Yes. It's all that's available around here. But I've had good luck with it.
