    Thanks guys... appreciate it.
    Same as 'Nobody' are they equal parts or is it a case that we experiment till we are happy with colour?

    You would not want to do equal 1:1 with the gray and the blue. The Royal blue is actually very strong, as a little of it goes a long way. The color will also take differently with the type of fabric being used. I was dying my SGB ROTJ cotton suit and the blue was really dark, while the ESB twill was much lighter, and they were in the same dye bath.

    The best way is to experiment with it to get the color you like (AKA, be sure to get color removal as well).

    All and all, you will not need the full packet of Royal blue for one jumpsuit.

    If you're able to, try a sample piece of the material you'll use, and do a test run to find the color you're looking for.

    Cool... since I have the two boiler suits (and not need all of it) I could try a colour run? cheers for the advice.
