Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately I don´t have an answer for you, but at least I can give your question a bump! :)

I initially wanted to dye my salt as close to cyan as possible. Yellow dyed to green +blue = cyan. Neon green wasn't available locally, so I used the sapphire blue. A quick dip in sapphire blue turns the knife much more teal green/turquoise than cyan.
If you try it, I'd dye it full on neon green then use blue to get you back to cyan.
This is both a salt and a carribean turned sapphire blue. I'd do it over again if I had the chance. You know, I have a dragonfly salt....I'll order neon green and report back.

Thanks! I'll have to give it a try. Still pretty new to home mods :)

i've heard the dye removal works well. at least well enough to take enough color back to do something different.

At a glance, I read the title as, "Dyad Yellow Salt" and got excited...
Carry on.

I was considering that, acetone seems to take it off readily....from the counter top at least.
I recently dropped my native and now it has a yellow corner scuff showing and couple small nicks so I might try the dye remover before I smooth out the dings and got at it again.
