DIY Idea: Dark Easter Eggs

I was flipping through our newest issue of Sunset Magazine tonight, and came across a great Easter tip. 

They suggest dyeing brown eggs, rather than the traditional white eggs.  Apparently it makes the colors darker and brighter.  Who ever said Easter had to be all pastels? 

I think its a brilliant idea.  And the colors are brilliant too. :) 

Have you ever tried this?
