And I'm playing with Keda dyes to see how light fast they are. The manufacturer told me they are fine, and I found good reviews online. But I'm running a little test of my own in preparation for my SG to confirm.
I managed to get some nice magenta and purple shades with these. Check the link to my SG build in my signature.

I used ink jet cyan blue on the Tele in my signature and that was cheap and pretty use to work with. Purple would be easy to make by mixing in a bit of ink jet magenta with the cyan until you find the ratio for desired colour.
Love the shell on the Truss Rod Cover Tony.

So now Completed except for some further minor intonation tweaks now shes settled
Gotoh locking tuners
Gotoh Bridge and tailpiece
CTS pots and orange cap
Schaller straplocks
Entwhistle HVX pickups.
Black Tusq nut
Was really worried about how was going to setup after I routed the neck down but have somehow jagged it and has a super low action with very little work to get there
Wasn't really happy with the pickups when first started playing the guitar. but have really grown on me. Really nice cleans on the neck.

Looks great Tony, the headstock came up nicely.
Scott.
Tasty stuff, Tony.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Looking good.
Know what you mean about the Entwistles. The ones I put in my son's hot rodded strat copy will probably suit his taste but I found the bridge PUP a bit too shrill and agree neck one sounded OK. Overall reasonably good value and better than stockers IMO.
