PHA and natural dyes?

Has anyone tried using natural dyes like iron acetate (vinegar+steel wool) on genPHA? Figuring I'll soak in tea for tannins then move to the "rust juice." Color range is a little limited and Rit DyeMore would work but I might as well use PLA then, I want to keep things biodegradable. A little blotchiness or other dye process artifacts are fine but it needs to be colorfast and not too fugitive (ie no turmeric, not lightfast at all).
