ColorTone dye looks a lot like TransTint which I have used a lot.
You can mix it with alcohol or water or both. When mixed with alcohol, it dries really fast which can make it look streaky when applied by wiping on large surfaces. Dissolving in water provides more working time, but can raise the grain of the wood. A 50/50 mix of alcohol and water dries a little slower and doesn’t raise the grain quite as much.
Be careful applying, it tends to flow VERY readily and can get into places you might not want it to go.
