Oops, I'm busted! Nope, I didn't get around to trying it yet, but I have everything pretty much ready to go. Reminder that I bought several vinyl flooring tiles, and I bought several colors of specialized petroleum-based dyes. My hope is that these dyes will work well, and will penetrate vinyl tile far enough to survive many years of wear-and-tear without losing the color. (That's what I'm going to test -- first by dying the material, then by carefully cutting into it with a knife to see how deep the colors made it.)

Thanks for the reminder - I'm going to pick this up again soon. The vinyl tiles are sitting flat in my office at home, in plain sight. The small bottles of dye are squirreled away somewhere, but shouldn't be too hard to find. Now is as good a time as any for me to do this, so your reminder is appreciated.
