Rit Dye Liquid 8 Ounce Aquamarine Reviews Summary

Color Accuracy

Pros:

• "They came out the exact color i wanted."
• "Turned out amazing and emerald is a great description of the color."
• "It was super easy to use and was the prettiest royal blue color!"
• "The color definitely surpassed my expectations!!"
• "I was able to dye the shirt to a beautiful indigo blue using my kitchen sink."
• "Beautiful vibrant and even teal color."
• "The cotton dyed to a strong golden yellow."

Cons:

• "Garment now unwearable as dye far too dark and almost orange certainty not rose pink like the bottle which would have been a good match for the garment."
• "I was so excited to get this to dye a white bedskirt. I was hoping it would turn out a charcoal grey like the color indicates, but it turned out to look more light purple."
• "While I was hoping for a true Royal blue, this is more of the dusty denim blue that is pictured on the bottle."
• "This dye is very red, not brown - it worked great and i love the end result but it’s not the brown color i was originally going for."
• "The actual colour is nothing like the one shown on the bottle."
• "This does not produce the dark beautiful navy color as shown on the bottle."
• "Instead of mauve, my curtains turned out light pink."

• "Great dye. It’s easy to use, and the colors are beautiful."

Cons:

• "I cannot believe people actually buy this. Chose due do the colour, but I couldn't believe the palaver you'd have to go through to actually dye anything - it's like going back to the 1950s."
• "Following instructions perfectly is very difficult when you don't have access to all the materials you need."
• "Make sure when you do this that you move the garment around in the dyebath for 20 minutes or so in the boiling water and salt and dye mixture, and it will coat more evenly."
• "The process is messy and time-consuming so I just left it."
• "Did the intended job but I have to say, I'm shocked at the copious amounts of water it takes to dye garments."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I found these dyes at Jo-Ann Fabrics for $2.99, so I wasn't angry given the price."

• "I've used it 2x now with great results."

Cons:

• "Bought two bottles of RIT dye, Scarlet, to dye a few items. I thought this product was pricey for what it promised and did not deliver."
• "Save yourself the time and money…!"
• "Also, the product is overpriced here."
• "I think it was pricey for the amount of dye."
• "I bought 3 bottles and Amazon says I cannot return them; I have thrown them out as they are garbage."

Fabric Compatibility

Pros:

• "Pure linen takes dye very well."
• "I love to use Rit to dye fabric for art projects."

Cons:

• "Works great on Cotton Only, but I needed it for polyester and chiffon, which is what it stated in description."
• "The fabric was a poly-cotton blend, which is not recommended."
• "make sure whatever you dye is cotton ... poly doesn't work that great."

Color Consistency

Pros:

• "I used all the dye and left it soaking for the full hour. Results are really good and no patchy areas."
• "A second cycle darkened the color nicely."
• "I dyed some old jeans and they came out looking a whole lot better."

Cons:

• "It also had blotchy end results; not impressed."
• "I used the taupe dye but my clothes all came out in varying shades of pink/ orange."
• "It has taken the colour well but there are a few patchy areas where you can see a tiny bit of the original cream colour but it looks like a trendy 'distressed' fabric now."
• "The pants were a very faded light blue, and they just turned an awkward blotchy color."
• "But all were splotchy, with some areas slightly lighter than others."
