Wow that was a mouth full. But iof there was permanent dye used the chances of being able to change the shade of color to something lighter are not good. Yes you can bleach the color out, but getting the Fabric to accept the new color is going to be hard. I have tried to due that in the past with very little success. So good luck to you

As Back2 says, the original color will need to be stripped out using a strong bath such as peroxide or caustic hydrosulfite. Then the fabric can be redyed. This is not something to do at home. You could try a strong bleaching, but it may impact the fabric itself.

Hello, So I had this question, since I accidentally bleached two work shirts. Everywhere I searched said to use Procion dye (which now I believe the company itself is answering this question). Since I couldn t find anything but Rit Dye, I said WTH since the shirts were already ruined, and I would try. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH RIT STAINING THE WHITE SCREEN PRINT ON THE SHIRTS. One shirt I dyed a plum, and going back over a black shirt. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SCREEN PRINT INK STAINING. Use Rit Dye, it s readily available and fairly inexpensive. If I ever have any issues again, I will use Rit Dye
