Easter Eggs with Brown Eggs

My Mother was concerned I couldn't hard boil or color my brown eggs to hide/dye for Easter.  I told her I boil them all the time, but have never tried coloring them before.  She bought some supermarket eggs in case mind didn't work, and we did a comparison. 
Brown Eggs

White Eggs

We used the same methods, the cheapest PAAS kit with the dots dissolved in vinegar/water.   I think the brown eggs look way better.  They are a richer, truer color and they are not as streaky as the white eggs are.  I know a lot of people do the natural dyes with cabbage or spinach or whatever.  I don't need to do that.  I am okay with using the store-bought dyes on my fresh eggs.
