Hey /diy/, I'm trying to make a new plush toy out of felt, this time of Aku from Samurai Jack after the new and last season finished. I have the pattern made entirely, but the only colour of felt I cannot find ANYWHERE at all is the mouth.

The closest I've been able to find are these 4 colours (the camera doesn't get the shade just right, both blue and yellow have a very slight green to them and the yellow is fluorescent).

I wanted to ask if you know of any methods to dull the brightness of a colour somehow without affecting the colour itself. I thought of maybe washing two colours together and seeing if they stain but I'm not sure if it's polyster of not as these are regular felt sheets bought at a haberdashery.

Any advice please? I could just take a tiny bit of artistic license but I'd rather I make an accurate plush. Might even make some money off him as I already have 3 friends expressing interest in buying one if it's good enough.

Serious question: are you color blind? because there is no fucking yellow in your pic.

Also, I would probably suggest dying the brighter one with some dark green dye. Start with some small test scraps, and different dilutions until you get something you like.

I am not colour-blind, no. I did say the camera didn't get the shade just right, it's so slight even in person the colour looks slightly different if in direct light or not. But that is a fluorescent yellow-with-a-hint-of-green for sure.

Would food colouring work? And in water? Just don't want to leave a residue on the felt since it is for a plush toy.

I.. don't get it. Sorry?

>the mouth
What part is that referring to? The (red) lips? The (beige) teeth? Or the (green) face?
