Interesting list. I know people who dye yarn using natural dyes, I
wonder if those methods would work with wood, too.

Dried black beans soaked for 24 hours is used for purple.

Onion skins (from yellow onions) for yellow / orange.

Avocado pits for pink.

And there are a lot of mushroom based dyes.
