If you are looking to: (a) dye a dark garment a lighter color or (b) completely change the color of a garment from one color to another (such as from purple to blue): Then you must first use Rit Color Remover to remove the color from the garment, bringing it to a white or off-white color. You will then have a blank canvas to achieve a true color with whatever dye you choose to use. Once the color is removed, follow the instructions for how to use Rit All-Purpose Dye.
