This is true of stage too. But most wardrobe people I know, film or
stage, use Rit Ecru to tech white down. Well most often. Tan in Rit
is on the pink side. And Beige in Rit is on the green side. Ecru is
yellowy. All read as white. It depends on which way you want the
white to go. Warm...ecru or tan. Cool beige or a watered down grey.
Does this also work as a "wash" to soften colors, to tone them down
without making them look like they're actually dirty or turning them
into a quite different color? If so, what proportion of dye do you use,
in comparison to the amount recommended for actually dyeing the fabric a
strong tan (for example half or a quarter)?
Sorry, I meant "a real ecru." The Procion ecru is very nice, but too
strong used in the recommended strength, judging from my experience
putting it over white. It's a real color.
Thanks tons,
Fran
