Is any artificial dyes used for the color?

I was concerned about that as well. It says, on the bag, that the intensely dark color is from "the bran" on each grain of rice.

No. From what I have come to understand is that this is the natural color. This is an ancient grain that has been known to be this color. In fact, ancient Asian chefs considered this rice to be suitable only for royalty!

I honestly do not know. As with a lot of natural food and else they bleed some color. that is why the natives use them to dye fabric and other items. I just know that the black rice is very good and has a wonderful flavor.

No. I tested the rice myself to make sure. What I did was soak the rice for 2hrs to see if it was legit. Product turns out fine.

Not that I am aware of. The purpose of the shampoo helps your hair from turning purple when coloring. This is color is a result of shampooing with hard water (from what my beautician told me).

Th,e only way to dye it that I know of , is by using sharpies... Regular dye wont take on Synthetic fibers. You can use low heat.. Just be careful not to keep it on one section ,too long, or it can burn it!

Yes. Up to 3 ounces of color can be added. Go to a paint store and have them treat it as a tint base.

No I used the one for grey but I am sure they would have something to work with your color

My best guess would be not that well, unless you bleach it first. It's not a very strong dye in comparison with some of the other brands. If you want something intense enough to dye over color, I would go with Special Effects. Their pimpin purple has great lasting power and would probably cover it well.

You can buy their clear color which is good for turning the colors lighter but you can always just mix the dye with some regular white-colored conditioner

No, but I don't use a lot of it. If you are ordering the brunette color, it doesn't match well, It is charcoal black.

Probably not. It's a pigment, not a dye (not being sarcastic). Look up the difference on Wikipedia--I don't remember offhand.

Not at this time. Red, Blue and Green are the only ones currently available. Other products may follow but we have not been notified of any new color choices.

Not really. Though I haven't used this product yet, all the instructions give are these 'hints': Blue+Red=Purple; Red+Yellow=Orange; Blue+Yellow=Green. But this is basic color theory that you can find on-line or in any elementary painting book (e.g. watercolor). Blue, Red and Yellow are the 'primary' colors; purple, orange and green 'secondary' (derived from the primaries). If you mix all 3 primaries you will be introducing black and brown hues and this will dull or 'muddy' your resulting color, but you can use unequal amounts of any two. Black and brown are also in the kit for a total of 5 hues. (Just FYI: actual color products are not 100% the pure theoretical primaries; e.g. maybe the blue is slightly greenish (implying a small amount of yellow) so if you mix this blue with a red, you will have all three primaries present -- to a small extent-- creating a duller purple than you would hope. Again, I have no experience to date with mixing the packets in this kit.) Good luck.

There is not. The color is the result of the two ingredients mixing in water. Whenever these two mix you have the color.

One of the ingredients is Red 40, so yes, it does contain artificial red food dye.

I didn't tye dye, but I did dye a few solid colors. The dye takes well to them, because they are cotton. I would think tye dying would work just as well.

No. I do not know how a good assortment of coloring could be from natural sources. If you are worried about certain allergies to dye, do not choose this.

I never attempted a true red. I was only looking to make pink so this dye worked well for that.

No. It has the FDC colors so I returned it. Look for Seelect (seelecttea.com) if you want all natural food coloring.
