>this had a few more ideas for color than the one I sent before for natural dyes
To obtain different colors for your Easter eggs, use the following materials: For pinkish red - use fresh beets
For orange - use yellow onion skins
For yellow - use ground turmeric
For pale green - use spinach leaves
For blue - use canned blueberries
For beige to brown - use strong
brewed coffee
For brown-orange - use chili powder
Place eggs in a saucepan, then cover with water. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar for each cup of water used and one of the items from the chart below. Simmer eggs for 20 minutes.
1/4 tsp. food color
3/4 c. boiling water for each color
1 tbsp. vinegar for each color
For each color, measure food color, water and vinegar into bowl about size of a cereal bowl. Mix well with spoon, use separate spoon for each color. To make orange dye: mix equal amounts of red and yellow. To make purple dye, mix blue and red. To make green dye mix blue and yellow.
