These tights turned out to be quite simple. Just a dunk of color here, a brush stroke of color there and ... tada! Insta-fashion!! Here's the tutorial, friends.

Here's the recipe for the 3 colors I mixed: 2Tbs Yellow + 1/4 tsp Kelly Green + 2 c. Hot Water 1tsp Fuchsia + 2 c. Hot Water 1 tsp Purple + 2 c. Hot Water 1/2 c. Black (undiluted in small separate container) These tights are a nylon/spandex blend. If you try it with a cotton blend, then dissolve about a 1/4 cup of salt in each color. This maximizes color retention after washing.
Dunk bottom 1/3 in the yellow/green. Dunk middle 1/3 in the fuchsia.
Dunk top 1/3 in purple.
Try to flatten the tights as best you can in a glass dish and brush with the undiluted black in a few random places. Cover this dish with plastic wrap and nuke on HIGH in the microwave to set the dye. Wash 'em and wear 'em. VOILA!! You're done!
Here's the whole colorful shebang on one page to make it easy. Give it a go, why not?
