Use the confectionary coloring paste sold in bakery supply stores or where baking accessories are sold in department stores. This thick gel substance makes very bold coloring when only a few drops of water are mixed with a small glob of the paste. You can brush this on the rope you would with paint and the colors are striking! I would try that method. It will definitely cover the rainbow leash dye thats already on it.

Copied and Pasted lol and Edited, I read this but isn't that for wooden blocks only? Would it work on rope or am I better off using food colouring? |

Yes, you can use it on rope. It should have the same effect.

If it was me, I would keep the rainbow colored rope as the way it is. I think it looks pretty cool. If you really want to change it, I would use the coloring paste. I think that might work better than food dyes.

The reason I want to change it is because I think it would be weird bringing a Male bird out wearing a blue flightsuit and a rainbow lead which is kinda girly.Plus everything im wearing has to match lol. |

I got food colouring (Blue) but the leash is just turning red and pink,brown and purplish, I wouldn't mind if it all turned red but I do want it blue so I am letting it sit for a while and see if it changes.

Have you tried soaking it in the dye? Maybe that would work better.
