Does anyone have ideas for natural dye for BRIGHT playsilks?

I am making some playsilks for my niece for Christmas and I want to use only natural, edibles to dye them with. I got a GREAT bright orange with tumeric and a lovely lavander with purple cabbage. But when i used the soaking liquid from my black beans I got more of a grey-blue. I would like one more bright (or at least vibrant) color for her.... What have you had success with?

Thanks!
