The carpeting in the living room and dining room is some sort of alien color that either looks brown or pink depending on how close you are to it. There has been hours of conversation around what the exact name of this carpet color is. Julie and I have settled on “Cat Barf” as it’s the exact color of regurgitated Fancy Feast. We’re open to any decorating advise on how to play down or mute this abhorrent color short of ripping up the perfectly functional and clean carpeting.

Is it pink or brown that's the question?
Carpet dying is an option for you, but consider doing a cost benefit study yourself. Most professionals will tell you that replacing a carpet will not be that much more expensive than dyeing a nylon carpet. Every situation is different and you may benefit from a consultation with a local professional.
If you choose to DIY (Do It Yourself) the following links will offer you some direction.
1) Do you have the knowledge?
The CarpetGuru's Carpet College offers education about Dye Methods under their Color Tab.
2) Do you have access to materials?
The following website sells all kinds of fabric dyes.
3) Do you have the equipment and training to do the job right?
This is most important. It serves no useful purpose attempting to save money, without doing a mindful cost benefit evaluation. It you mess up the job it will cost you more money and all the wasted time. To address this issue I recommend you visit http://www.servpro.com/services/carpet_upholstery.htm There may be a local Servpro frachise in your area. If you cannot easily find one you can call 1-800-SERVPRO.
I hope this helps.
This dude just dissed the "Cat Barf".
