: My paste turned dark drown when I added beet powder to it. Can't
say it helped the stain much though. It just took longer to turn a
deep color. It never did turn real maroon in color.
That's because beet isn't a particularly good dye, and simply adding
one dyestuff to another doesn't necessarily have an additive effect.
Depending on the chemistry of the dyeing agents involved, they might
even neutralize each other.
