Denatured alcohol in the UK appears to be methylated spirit and coloured blue, does this colour effect the dye colour or is there another version of denatured alcohol?. . . 

The meths I buy is purple coloured and this does not show in either dye nor acrylic paint I thin with it. 

An alternative is IPA which is totally clear and sometimes cheaper per L

Orange is too bright and rich.  You need to get some of that intensity out.  Dilute with Dye reducer or alcohol.  If that doesnt get you far enough then set some aside and try mixing in a drop or two of blue or black dye.

thanks , I will try this.
