I'm pretty certain that food colouring won't last - it will begin to come out in the wash.

But this website has instructions on how to do two colours of tie dye:

Have fun!

yer food dye will most certainly come out with water
but you could try mixing the 2 colours you have together!

if you want it to stay, soak the shirt in soda ash or vinegar.
do not use food coloring, though. that won't work.
buy dye from a grocerie store and put it into a waterbottle and apply it to the shirt by squirting it on. it works.
