What dharma procion color would you buy for a nice lavender? Plum blossom, orchid, other?

Also, is fire red the color that you can get most pinks with?

Thanks!

They have a color called lavender that is nice. It's a blue-ish purple. Orchid is also nice. It's a pink-ish purple.

For pink I usually use baby pink or fushcia red.

I love their lavendar...it's a really nice shade. If you use fire red to make pink, use it VERY sparingly, lol. It's some strong stuff!

I'm not a fan of baby pink, it's too orangey for me. I use very dilute fuchsia red. I've had iffy luck with fire red for making pink. I also use orchid for lavender, but I prefer a pinky lavender.

If you want pink I'd get the baby pink or the fuschia. Everything I've ever dyed with the fire red has come out bright red. You'd have to probably use a very small amount if you want it pink.

I have lilac, and it makes an awesome lavendar!
