I've been using Rit dye. I've only used scarlet and tangerine so far but they work pretty well, the color stays.

Dark Green Rit. If you go to the Rit website, they've got a color chart you can use to mix dyes to obtain any color you'd ever want. Good luck and let us see 'em when you're done.

I use the cake frosting dye on my shafts minus the vinegar. I haven't tried it out on feathers but the Rit dye packs are cheap as well and a little bit goes a long way, I have enough red and orange to dye thousands of feathers just off the two packs I bought at hobby lobby.

With koolaid dyeing the longer you leave the feathers in the dye the deeper the color (you may have to reheat the dye and/or add a little more) don't forget the vinegar or color will fade....
Any food coloring will work with this method(easter egg dye, cake frosting dye....)

I have seen quite a few really cool green fletch before but not many posting here. I guess it's that most are solid green, not the dyed natural barred.
These orange arrows are my favorite. I am down to 3 of six though so I may need to order another set from Matt
