I have found that most dye plant experiments dye
yellows and golds.  I wonder if it's a regional thing.

I have used walnut leaves lots of times.  I don't like
dealing with mordants, and so this is nice and easy. 
And it doesn't seem to affect the texture of the wool,
like other dyes often do for me.
