Custom Color Recipes

With Rit® Dye, the color possibilities are endless! It's easy to create just the color you want by combining several Rit® colors. Scroll down to see "color recipes" for some of our most requested colors.

Each Rit® color recipe is formulated to dye 1 pound dry weight of material in 3 gallons of water at 140^oF (60^oC) for 30 minutes. Rit Measurements:
1 pkg. powder dye = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons = 1 1/8 oz. = 31.9 grams

1 bottle liquid = 8 ounces = 16 tablespoons = 236 ml. = 2 packages powder

5 gallons of liquid bulk = 11.3 lbs. powder

For larger quantities use multiples of the given recipe. Calculate amount of dye needed based on dry weight of goods.

To successfully combine the colors as listed in the recipes:

Rit® Powder Dye:Mix dye with 2 cups hot water, stirring until thoroughly dissolved. Add this concentrated solution by stirring into the dyebath water.

Rit® Liquid Dye:
Stir thoroughly to mix well (shake if using an 8 oz. bottle) before adding by additional stirring into the dyebath water.

Stir thoroughly to mix well Rit® LIQUID dye (shake if using an 8 oz. bottle) before adding by additional stirring into the dyebath water.
