The new Pantone® color forecast for this Fall is here! We always get calls asking for directions how to mix colors to match but everyone sees color differently and our match might not be yours. So instead we have gone through our Fiber Reactive Dye Colors for cotton and other plant fibers, and our Dharma Acid Dyes for wool and silk, and picked the shades closest to help keep you in style and keep it easy for everyone. These are just our best guesses. You can get closer sometimes by mixing the colors we list, or dyeing them lighter or darker than normal, which can be a lot of fun to mess around with. Be sure to check out our Tub Dyeing Directions for cotton and our Acid Dye Directions for silk to learn how you can turn any white garment into a custom colored piece.
