I just dyed curly maple lams hot pink last week. Use rit dye rose pink and add some rit dye wine till I got the color I wanted. Mixed it with denatured alcohol. The lams were really vivid hot pink. But they muted down to an orangish pink under the glass. I liked the color better, but it wasn't hot pink. If you dye, do a sample with some scap clear glass first, I'm sure you have some laying around.
