Dye your white eggs naturally if you like light brown. When you are hard-boiling them, the brown skins from onions in the pot with the raw, WHITE, eggs. When they are hard-boiled they will be a mottled rust/light brown colour. This was how my Mom's family dyed their eggs when they were growing up (in addition to using beet juice), Of course, it you're using brown eggs it won't work too much as this is the colour they'll come out with the onion skins, albeit not a mottled rust?
