Hi
I am in the process of putting down ground cover on a layout and i am using ground walnut shells, but i would like to make them darker, does anyone have any ideas on what to use to change colors and what the best way to do this would be some things i have heard of were India ink, acrylic ink, cloths dye, pastels ? anyone have any input would be appreciated
Regards

India ink diluted with alcohol can't be beat. You can get inks in many colors.

There is really no rule. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For subtle weathering of a building, a few drops of ink in half a cup of alcohol will do it. You would want a lot more if you are trying to dye ground cover.
Experiment!
