community of dyers

Paula,
Thank you so much for your help. It is amazing how the Dolphin colors have changed over the years. I will try the Marine half-strength like you said as well as the blue / yellow mix. I also like the idea of the MX Jade. Thanks to you both. I'll let you know how it all pans out.

If your ProChem Marine is just too dark, what happens if you use less dye? Try half as much, or a quarter as much, per ounce of fabric, and see what you get.

It's interesting to see how wildly the colors of the Miami Dolphins logo have changed over the years, from green to navy to dark aqua:

The orange also has changed, from a dark red-orange to a bright medium orange.

The current dark aqua looks a bit duller than you'd get from a straight pure turquoise. It might be about right to mix a little yellow MX-8G with a larger amount of blue MX-R.

This picture of an official licensed jersey might give a better idea of a good aqua to use:

Try Olli Niemitalo's Dye Mixer Applet. There I get a similar hue when I mix cerulean blue (blue MX-G) with a slightly smaller amount of yellow MX-8G. Unfortunately, the Dye Mixer Applet cannot tell you how much dye to weight out to get an equivalent strength of color.
