DIY dyed keycaps

I dyed a gray & light gray DSA keycap set using iDye Poly (color Kelly Green). I also tested a white NP profile key and a CFX one. It wasn't too difficult, but I needed better active ventilation as I got poisoned a bit. I used about 20 liters of water (needed a lot of it to dye ski boots and keycaps were just a bonus). The keycaps stayed in the dye bath for about 2-3 minutes. The color is even and rich. It is exactly the deep emerald color I wanted. White keycaps have a slightly colder tint compared to gray and light gray ones. Overall I'm super happy with the result!

Lighter keys were light gray, darker ones were dark gray
