 I've never tried it but it may be worth a try. There are many ways to color a horn, I guess it all depends on what works for you. Mine is heated oil based leather dye, heated Rit dye, Aqua Fortis, paint and wood stain sometimes by themselves or a combination. Scott Sibley has a good how to in one of his books.
