Ok, so you may want the perfect snuff hanky …on the cheap *Buy 8-10 white 100% cotton handkerchiefs from ebay *Buy Dylon dark brown 11 machine dye ebay *Buy 500g of salt from the supermarket Stuff them all in the washing machine at 40 degrees and bam! perfect snuff handkerchiefs to use in public because the snuff doesn’t show up on them, end of
Great idea. I take it the salt functions as a mordant for the dye?
That right yes, its a dye stabiliser and attaches the dye permanently the handkerchiefs , nice word mordant btw…never heard that before 
I do basically the same thing using salted leftover coffee and flour sack towels; 100% cotton and 20" square. I simmer them in the salted coffee, let them steep and toss in the washing machine. Not as dark as the brown dye, but a good way to use up old stale coffee.
that’s why sleeves were invented. Just kidding. Kleenex for me, never could get used to handkerchiefs.
I managed to get some nice bandanas at Michael arts & crafts for $ 1. in brown camouflage. Only use them for dress occasions. Farmer blow while outdoors and kleenex if needed inside; for big jobs bounty paper towels. If you want to make your wife scream after sex ,use the curtains
I’ve actually been toying with this idea for a while. I’ve held off because I am trying to think of a color other than brown which will effectively camoflage snuff. A black bandana with red spots that I picked up at walmart works surprisingly well, because the pattern is ‘busy’ enough that the snuff streaks don’t show too bad.
Here’s another modest proposal 
Get white handkerchiefs, blow your nose on them until uniformly brown from the tobaccos, then use a mordant to fix the stain. Voila! Completely customized to the colors of the snuffs you use most. Just kidding. My more serious idea is to direct your attention to a book by Australian artist India Flint, which goes into great depths on applying natural homemade dyes to fabric, using all manner of plant sources, such as leaves, vegetables, flower, coffee/tea (as per @chefdaniel’s suggestion), and even mineral sources such as rust. Also covered is a variety of mordants to fix the dye. Seems to me one could use tobacco itself as a dye, especially dark fermented leaves or powder. http://www.amazon.com/Eco-Colour-Botanical-Beautiful-Textiles/dp/1596683309/

Its the reason I made my first brown batch of handkerchiefs a few weeks ago, here in the UK I couldn’t find any brown for sale anywhere. Of course hundreds of years ago they were all brown. I made 10 permantly brown ones for £9.50. You can use other darker colours but nothing hides brown like brown 
…these are great

Yes, I had the same idea as you after trying and failing to find brown handkerchiefs. Cotton takes dyes really well. As I said, the reason I haven’t pulled the trigger yet is that I’m not really keen on having brown handkerchiefs. I do however believe that you are correct that brown really is the most effective color, so I guess I’ll do this soon. One thing that I did notice during my experiments is that the brown needs to be quite dark to effectively disguise snuff. If it’s too light, the snuff shows up as dark streaks 
This is why I was trying out black handkerchiefs with patterns, hoping that they would be a reasonable substitute for dark brown. Maybe we should all blow our boses into a variety of colored and patterned handkerchiefs and post photos of them here? Actually, perhaps not…

Well Dylon Machine Dye 11 Dark Brown is extremely dark, so when you blow your nose it doesn’t show up…if you like black I think you’d be happy with it too because it’s so dark
Quit with Snuff combo packs come with a brown handkerchief…
I have been sticking with the ubiquitous little hand cloths that you see here in Japan- the ones that serve duty as hand towels as paper towels are not common in bathroom here. They are very soft and fit right in, and at just a few Yen each, I can stock up with an assortment of colors.
While I agree that brown might hide the stains best, it’s also … brown … which is a bit dull. I think a very busy pattern works best, so I keep my eye out for brightly coloured bandanas and suchlike. We have also recently acquired a sewing machine at home so I have made some of my own from brightly coloured fabric.
Perhaps one could tie dye the handkerchiefs, for a busy pattern
