I've just spent the day tub dying so I'm almost in need of more
I definitly need more salt but they don't carry it at CC and I forget to look at S&F.
More Soda Ash but I foget to even think about finding it locally.
I'll never buy Forest Green again. It looked yucky.
Ditto on Better Black. Couldn't get blacky black.
I don't have a Gotta Have List because I have yet to find colors that I love. I'm sure my problem is that I'm to frugal to use the amount of dye needed to get the intensity of the colors that I'd really like kwim?
I've never found a red red or a black black. To get black, I've always dyed it twice (which is why I don't attempt black anymore).
I love cereluan, fire red, lemon yellow, olive drab, and better black. You can get anything from those. I'm a mixer though. I don't like buying the premixed (except olive). My favorite part of dyeing is the experimenting.
Oh, Timmi and I also enjoyed playing with blue gray.

marigold, aquamarine, lilac, light red and grape. Don't waste your money on coral pink. It looks like sunburned salmon. It's hideous. Oh, and brilliant blue is a crappy mixing blue.

I do love these on their very little own though:
*Robin's Egg Blue
*Marigold (Deep Yellow is nice, too) ~ this is a great mixing color as well.
*Ice Blue is so pretty; it's a light blue that lends to periwinkle. Love it!
Great mixing colors:
*Seafoam
*Kelly green
*olive drab

I like having grape around 'cause I'm never happy with my mixed purple.
I like midnight blue on silk, but not cotton (always to dark). Same goes for forest green.
Better black for painting on cotton, Jet black acid dye for silk.
DD wants all her clothes dyed with baby pink. Dh has a closet full of work shirts done with khaki (covers dingy white very nicely) & a baseball hat I did in the color he calls "apple green" that I mixed.

Now see I *like* Brilliant Blue. But I haven't used it for mixing. I love how it comes out on it's own, though. I'll second Grape. I used that one this morning for the first time, and I like what I got with a small bit of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I get with a whole bunch of it, lol. And I think Forest green makes a lovely sage when you use 2 tsp to dye a huge chunk of super wide flannel to make queen sheets, lol.
Suzanne just got impressive results with Fire Red. I have been too chicken to try mine, but seeing her dye job last week has me thinking I can do red, too.

Kelly Green is a nice, fresh green. I like it too.
