I've not done so, but the organic---no metallic elements and no minerals---dyes used to make smoke bombs or dry organic pigments used to make oil paint might be worth trying, as they are unlikely to affect ballistic characteristics significantly in small quantities.  You'd need to know the actual formula or composition of the dye; for example, viridian pigment is a form of chromium oxide and would increase the burn rate.

Hi All,
Does anyone here deliberately dye their grains, like AeroTech or CTI? In particular I'm looking for a red dye, preferably in very small fraction or a liquid. I've had the red dye that comes in RocketPoxy suggested to me. Thoughts?
Sincerely,
Charlie
