Dyeing a dark grey inner to be lighter.

[SA_SA_SA]

I have a Red single hoop Berghaus tent which I like but it has a dark grey inner which I find 'slightly oppressive':
is there a way I could dye (spray?) it to be lighter without affecting breathability?

I was just looking at the Berghauses (or should that be Berghaeuser?) today. I like the red outer tent but was very surprised at the grey inner. My guess is that the red is too see-through so you need a darker colour on the inner.

You can't 'dye' it lighter, you will have to bleach it to remove colour. If you can find one try your local haberdashers for advice on what to use.

I like the tent (though I pitch the inner so as to use only 50% of outer's footprint area rather than the designed approx 75% in order to gain reasonable bell space) and the curves seem to require more tension to get a taut pitch than a ridge tent (I saw a few non-taut peak 3.1s flapping at York). Terra nova seem happy to use yellow inners with red tents.

Modern tents are made with Nylon or Polyester, they cannot be "dyed" or "bleached" unless you want to damage the fabric. I would certainly avoid!
Also, the inner tent fabrics are most often a thin Denier, usually 30D or less, so they can be fairly transparent to the light and not giving a claustrophobic feeling.
