Post #24 doesn't contain any information that I already didn't say that I covered here. It had been in the water for nearly 30 minutes to get that purple color listed above. I did look through the entire thread, was just following people's suggestions of "oh, don't use too much dye" and "oh, don't use too much heat" and they dye really wasn't taking very well.

It's still fairly dark, if a little purple-ish today. It doesn't appear to be coming off on my hands (my fingers are still mostly purple from coloring it yesterday though). My pants pocket still looks good too, it's been in there most of the day. It's still very fresh so if I'm not seeing any now, I doubt I will see any in significant amounts later. You should be good to go, just do it, you'll be glad you did! The liquid dye works well... just don't use much water, and be prepared to soak if for nearly an hour, I had to.
Thanks, I'll do this tomorrow.
