Description
Bright Green is a pure, vivid green — the color of fresh spring grass at its most alive. Clear and warm, it belongs to the Spring palette without reservation. Dharma Trading Co. #29. One of our most energizing greens; use alongside Electric Green and Kelly Green for a vivid warm-green gradient.
How to dash-dye with this color
- Prep your piece. Prewash a natural-fiber garment (cotton, rayon, linen or hemp) and leave it damp, not dripping.
- Sprinkle the dye. This activated dye is pre-mixed with soda ash, so there’s no pre-soak. Flick, sprinkle or tap the powder onto the fabric. Start light; you can always add more.
- Mist to move it. Mist with water (or a little soda ash and water) so the pigment travels and blooms. Blended colors split as they move.
- Let it set. Bag or wrap the piece and leave it somewhere warm, at least 70°F, for 4 hours or overnight for the richest color.
- Rinse and wash. Rinse in cool water until it runs mostly clear, then wash warm with mild detergent, alone or with similar colors the first few times.
