Boiling eggs in the peels of Golden Delicious apples will give you turquoise eggs. I guess the Good Lord has a sense of humour.

We used onion skins and turned white eggs into brown eggs!

For an interesting change in color, use a 1/4 to a 1/2 spoonful of alum as the mordant (the agent that causes dye to adhere to the item being dyed). Alum can be found either in the pharmacy area (it is used as a styptic to stop minor bleeding, such as shaving cuts; stings, but it is effective) or in the spice and seasoning aisle (it’s also used in pickling). For example, when vinegar is added to red cabbage the color is be a pale teal, but red cabbage mixed with alum will fizz and turn the egg navy blue!

This reminds me of how my grandmother dyed eggs. She used onion skins and beets. Thank you for the memories.
