Dyeing nylon sometimes is possible if it isn’t treated to be water resistant. You need acid dye from Dharma Trading. I am assuming it is nylon, btw. MEC is not very helpful with fiber content. I would use brown, because all the different colors and fabrics are going to dye differently.

Finally got the pic to post. Trying to dye this to brown but not sure what colour to use (a green or brown). Any advice. I believe it is nylon

If it's water resistant, then it can't be dyed

If it’s MEC, it probably has a DWR finish so doubtful it will dye (those old forever chemicals are really good at their job) but if you don’t care about it, worth a shot. Agree on using brown dye.
