Status: offline 		rajul,

looks like I am going to have to step up to the plate with my vast accumulation of knowledge on this subject. I am experienced, been doing it for days

I would guess any clothing dye would work.
If you try it, let us know how it works out.

Status: offline 		WOW! Four gallons of water, one cup salt, two packages of black Rit dye powder, 145 degrees for 40 minutes.... I'm thrilled. It worked better than I imagined! I dipped at 10 minute intervals until it was as dark as I wanted.

Thanks to everyone for the great advise! Here's a picture of the final result:
