Dye colours for Elina Lightning bolt?
« on: February 08, 2012, 05:35 PM »
Anyone know the correct/nearest dye colour for a Lightning bolt?  Think I can figure out a black, but also thinking blue or red possibly.  I have a Madonna blue somewhere I think....

Thanks in advance

not the best pic's but here are the charts of mine with dylon MP dyes

reds can be a bit tricky - pagoda red witha bit of cherry flame for a dark cherry look or pagoda red wih scarlet for a more post box red - time and amout of dye used to water volume can change the out come of the colour

Cheers bendy!  Just seen this.  I have Madonna blue but it looks a little light.  Might play safe and go black.  But then there's no going back.  Apparantly... ;)

you may need to mix a couple - with a little pinch of a dark blue to bring it up - not easy but can be done  ;)
