So it doesn't really work to use
natural dyes to color eggs.
Don't try rosehips, spirulina,
beet water, or anything else
suggested by natural dye people.
Those things will stain most things,
but not egg shells.
Turmeric will give a healthy glow to white eggs,
but it won't do much to brown eggs.
All this effort resulted in this
beet, oranges, and black olive salad.
It was good.

Now on with the real paint.
