Brother John,

Purple is a dark color, and should be the final color of a pysanka, not one of the intermediate ones. Most of the commercial pysanka dyes, with the exception of Surma, have a purple dye that is really more of a royal blue color.

If you wish your purple to stand out, you will need a final color that is NOT black. One option is to finish the pysanka and then bleach it to get white. Or you can make a light purple color by adding 2 T of purple dye (prepared) to a cup of water and 1 T vinegar. This will give you more of a lavender color, depending on how long the egg is left in the dye.

If you have any questions, contact me through the links on my site (click on my name).

Not only are we in AZ but I’m a Native of NYC. My gardening knowledge spans from 1-800-Flowers to fondling produce for freshness. I wish you luck though, and I enjoyed reading your blog.

Hello from Salida, Colorado!
