People are drawn to colors differently and what appeals to one person may not appeal to you. So there are no best tie-dye combinations or bad ones. Just popular ones. Therefore you might find fuschia, turquoise, and lemon being the primary colors in some dye brands while red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors in another. It all depends on the brand!

Make swatches and label them before you embark on your project. This way, you’ll have an idea of how the colors will turn out when merged and a color reference point.If color mixing seems confusing, you can use premixed tie-dye colors or dyes which come in various shades and tints. Even so, the knowledge of basic color mixing is still critical in color placement.

Unfortunately for newbies, sometimes the results end up being more drab than fab. And most of these unpleasant tie-dye outcomes have everything to do with pairing colors that don’t blend well.If you are mixing your own dyes, you can start with one color like blue and mix it in various proportions separately. In three different bottles, create a pastel, medium strength, and powerful blue color, then use the three in your tie-dye.

Whatever colors you think look beautiful together probably do. Well, except when it turns out contrary to how you intended by dyes overlapping to where they are not wanted, creating dull colors.Use the right type of dye for the project, especially if you opt to tie-dye a synthetic fiber like polyester. You’ll need a disperse dye for that. Fiber reactive dyes and all-purpose dyes are more commonly used for natural fibers and blends. If you want to go all out with colors, nothing is stopping you. Multicolored tie-dye color combos particularly look awesome with the classic spiral technique. The traditional rainbow tie-dye combination is always a fun choice. You do not even need all the seven colors if they are not available.
