Ultimately it depends on your method of dyeing on how much dye you will need, but a lot of us use a mixture of Rit Evening Blue and Pearl Grey. I highly recommend testing on spare fabric and coming up with a mixture you like best, as well as going in increments on your actual suit, you can always add more dye in. It also depends on which suit you are doing, as they are all a little different. There is also a bunch of information on Rit's website regarding dyeing and especially, reducing colors for test strips as you need less of a dye for less fabric. Hope that all helps, there really isn't a right or wrong way to dye it (in my opinion) and a lot of your color you can get through weathering.
