Town Hall Red Brick 

Use only one color or a few very closely related colors and the spot dye method.  Mix the dye in your desired color(s).  Pour 1/4 cup of the dye into an empty beaker, fill to the 1 cup mark with hot tap water.  Then from the first cup spoon 2 tablespoons of the dye into a third cup and fill it to the 1 cup mark.  Do not add water to the first cup.  You need it at the original strength.  Use these different strength solutions as you would different colors to spot dye over natural or a neutral beige.  For full spot dye instructions, see Dyeing by the Numbers.
