Railrider1920 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Folks, I am in the process of making a kindle cover for my wife. She saw one that the likes online. The name of the color that they use is wine. If I want my dye job to have an end result like this, what kind and or color would you suggest? I don't remember seeing a dye caller "wine". I do think I have seen maroon. Thanks for any suggestions Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXAG Report post Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I am very new here, so I am certain many others will step in and correct me, but my Fiebing's "Mahogany" is very close to that color. Edited January 12, 2012 by TXAG99 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Railrider1920 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Thank you both very much. I'll see if I can get to TLF friday and see if they happen to have any examples of those colors. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for any suggestions Rob you could also try Fiebings Chocolate. it's a dark chocolate, but diluting with denatured alcohol helps with that.

Chavez Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Sorry for a slight offtopic, but has anyone managed to get a decent colour from fiebing's mahogany? It just comes out either very dark purple, or very weird red... Is there a special way to dye an item mahogany so it would look nice? =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
