One could mix dye into a sample of mercury however it will not show up well as dyes operate on the absorbtion and reflection of light. Mercury reflects most light off of its surface preventing any photo-activation of the dye from occuring. Certain mercury compounds do have colour such as cinnabar's reddish tinge, but that comes from the solid crystals refraction of the light.

Only a pro in a lab should do it... but yes it can be done and is very dangerous.
