I dyed some vests in tropical green and tulip red, the red came out quite pinky tbh, and the green was quite nice but bright, I'd probably choose a colour that you wouldn't mind if it came out a little paler than you anticipated iykwim. I do like the goldfish orange and violet though!

The orange looks nice.
And I really like green, bright green that is, with the pink.
Or the burlesque red.
Not very helpful I guess sorry.
