These are the garments I dyed this past weekend. I didn't get a good photo of the shirt as shirt, but what I have is enough to show the contrast between the cotton exercise top and the silk shirt. Same dyes, same dye lot, different fabrics. I didn't fiddle with color on these photos at all. The silk shirt really is purple and green, and the cotton bra really is blue and green, with much less contrast.

silk-green and purple

Ohhhh! The silk shirt colors are dreamy: wonderful, subtle, the essence of irises!

Totally different greens, too. Fascinating.

Nifty! I would wear both of those fabrics!

Those are both gorgeous, but I actually said "Wow!" out loud as I scrolled down my friends page and saw the silk shirt. I still find it amazing that the colours came out so different, even though I know a bit about how dyeing works in the chemical sense.
