Carpet dye?

I just re-carpeted my rear aluminum deck, and this time I went with black, to better match the boot area. I had blue before...

The "black" of of the MINI's boot floor is much lighter than the new carpet on the deck; and I'd like to change that. First, here's a photo:



I guess they are called rear seat deletes these days, but you get the idea. I suppose mine was one of the first as this one done almost 4 1/2 years ago...

Is there a dye of some type for such applications?

Thanks for your input.

I'm not sure what that carpet is made out of, but you might try this stuff...

...i've used it before, although not on carpet. I got it from Wal-Mart.

Maybe here...

I almost forgot that I started this thread! Thanks for the reply. RIT was the brand that I was aware of actually, but as you said, not exactly for this application. The price is right, that's for sure. I'll pick some up tomorrow while running errands...

Thanks again.
