</blockquote> <h4 dir="ltr">Introduction to Color Theory</h4> <p dir="ltr">There are two basic rules in color theory to keep in mind when dyeing.</p> <p dir="ltr">1) Dye will ADD TO the original color, not replace it.</p>
   * Dyes work best on analagous colors - colors on the same side of the color wheel.
   * A blue fabric dyed with yellow dye will turn GREEN.
   * The combination of complimentary (opposite) colors will typically yield a muddy brown.
   * A purple fabric dyed with yellow dye will turn brown.
2) Dye can only make fabric darker, never lighter.
   * Black cannot be dyed any other color. If it is a very faded black, you may be able to get a very dark color like navy blue.
   * Dark colors can only be dyed darker.
   * If you want to make a wrap or fabric lighter, you must [[StrippingColor][strip it first]].
   * Structured carriers cannot be stripped.
