Purple: grape juice and skins from red onions
Red: boiled fresh beets or cranberry juice
Yellow: boiled cumin or turmeric powder, boiled orange or lemon peels
Orange: boiled orange juice or paprika
Brown: black tea or coffee

Boil each ingredient separately with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Reduce heat and simmer until the desired color is reached. Strain the liquid into a bowl and 3 teaspoons of white vinegar for each cup of liquid.
Dye your eggs/fabric/yarn just was you would with conventional dyes."
