I have had good results using liquid aniline dyes in light cuts of shellac. However, the tints were meant to be very subtle - - one has to look closely to realize the shellac is tinted. And I've put my tinted shellac over well-cured undercoats. I've never attempted a deep red or blue, for instance.
Just a few drops of burgundy and yellow in a half-pint of 1-pound shellac adds a little warmth and hue to new maple.
