New (not) khaki leggings

Hello  :)
I'm still renovating my wardrobe... and can I just say, beige leggings, hmmm.  (shudder) I'd taken a hearty dislike to mine over recent weeks.  But they still had some wear in them.  Wasteth not, wanteth not.  It was really just the colour that had become offensive to my eyes.   Corrective action was called for.  
To the dye pot!!! 
(spoken in the same tone as one says "to the bat cave!" of course!)
Before...
the transformative materials...
I used only a shake (that's an official term of measurement there) each of iDye in Brown and Chartreuse.  Probably a pinch at the most, plus heaps of salt.  Pinch, heaps;  some other highly technical terms.  Trust me, I'm an analytical chemist!
