Message: Our school colors are green and yellow. If I buy a yellow t-shirt and use green dye will it turn it blue? How do I get the green?

No, green dye plus yellow dye will not produce blue. You're in luck. It's yellow plus blue that produce green, where they mix together. Green already has yellow in it. You won't have a problem combining yellow and green.

If you add green dye to a yellow shirt, the result will be a somewhat more yellowish green. If you use blue dye on a yellow shirt, the result will be green; the shade will depend on how strong the yellow is, as compared to how strong the blue is. A pale blue on a strong yellow will produce a yellowish green, while a strong blue on a light yellow will produce a very bluish green.

I recommend that you look for a good tie-dyeing kit, or use Procion MX fiber reactive dyes plus soda ash (which are what you'll find in the best tie-dyeing kits, such as the Jacquard tie-dyeing kit). This will produce much better results than all-purpose dyes, such as Rit or Tintex. Look at a crafts store or sewing store. Avoid the Rit brand tie-dyeing kit, because it contains an inferior dye.
