There is no such thing as white dye. There is bleach for cloth and white paint for other things.

"Dyers like to say that white dye is called water. Dye is transparent, so a white dye would have no effect on the color you place it on top of."

Honestly the ECRU Dye on Rit's site looked white on their site. But I checked a color chart and apparently its a lightish yellow? Odd thinking that the color of the image would be wrong on their own site. Either way, I'm going to stop by a crafts store and find a paint that works if that is the case. If all else fails we'll have another black success story.

EDIT:

This is the dye I was talking about. http://www.ritdye.com/Powders.28.51.6.31.lasso It looks white or at least like a light gray on their site. But oddly enough their own color chart says that it is a yellow. I'm either going to find a white paint that works, or try making the back cover this color dark blue ... http://www.ritdye.com/Powders.28.51.6.42.lasso ... because it at least somewhat resembles the color blue in the Touchflo 3d interface. SO, I will at least def. be trying a color other than black.
