Kool aid with cap full of vinegar. Put in in a pot of water on the stove. The longer it cooks the darker the color comes out.

I've died white marabou pink by putting it in a glass of hot water with one dyed red marabou feather. There's waaaaaaay too much dye in red marabou, as I discovered, and the end result was just what I was looking for.
