I dyed my Salt the most unfortunate shade of pea green.

Here's my unfortunate plum purple with and odd hint of brown Yojumbo scales. The color was supposed to be "smokey blue"--that's probably why there's a little brown in it--but I mixed the dye too strong, which was especially foolish of me when I was dying natural/jade G10 of a BladeHQ exclusive. I've been thinking about getting some Rit Dye remover and trying again, but on the other hand, the color is kind of unusual, and I like my knives to be kind of unusual. The final decision will probably depend upon my local Cerakote shop: if there's a color for the blade and hardware that looks good with the purple I'll leave the scales as is, if not, I'll try to fix them. Opinions on the purple are welcome though.

I like it… it’s better than most factory purple.

I ran into a similar issue when dying the jade G10 on my GB2. I was attempting a charcoal grey and it came out this weird grey/blurple color and I didn't even mix any other dyes, I just used straight charcoal grey. I think the jade G10 has a tendency to really throw off colors when attempting to dye them. Like you though, even though it wasn't what I was going for I kept it that way since it was unique.
