With RIT Dye, the color possibilities are endless! It's easy to create just the color you want by combining several RIT colors. Scroll down to see "color recipes" for some of our most requested colors. Each color recipe below is formulated for 1 pound (dry weight) white or near white, 100% cotton fabric using 3 gallons (or the low-level water setting on your washing machine) hot water. Just combine the colors as listed in the recipe (pre-dissolve RIT Powder Dye in 2 cups hot water, stirring until dissolved or shake RIT Liquid Dye well), stir into the dyebath, then follow the tinting or dyeing instructions as listed on the RIT dye package or bottle. Reminder: It's a good idea to test the color on a scrap of fabric before dyeing the entire piece.
