    No, as it will not lock into the fabric and can therefore dye your skin and your other clothes.

    Goodness, no! Wall paint is not for fabrics. Nor is wall paint good for washing machines!

    Restoring diminished shade in pants with mild designs, specially if the fading is due to wear or washing, may be tough. Unlike printed designs, which can be a part of the material, fading occurs within the dye itself. However, you can try dyeing the pants using a fabric dye that suits the original shade. Follow the dye manufacturer's instructions cautiously, and observe that the result won't be an precise suit, in particular for complicated light designs. It's beneficial to test a small, inconspicuous area first. Professional material dyeing offerings may additionally offer extra particular shade healing options.
