They’re the secret to beautifully bright Easter eggs.

Can You Dye Brown Eggs For Easter?

The trick to an ultra-saturated dyed egg is all about the natural color of the eggs you choose.

Because of the tan base, brown eggs naturally dye an earthier, more saturated color.

Check on the eggs and leave them submerged for longer if you want them to absorb more dye.

Conversely, leave the eggs in the dye solution for less time if you want more traditionalpastel-colored eggs.

Lay paper towels on your work surface and set a drying rack atop the sheets.

This will keep your surface safe from any rogue dye drips.

Without vinegar, the dye absorbs into the eggshell much more slowly.

Eggshell color is determined by the breed of hen.

Yes, technically you don’t have to boil eggs to be able to dye them for Easter.
