You made an error by mentioning the purple dye. It's in the PVC cement, not the "clear cleaner". These two items are completely different. Cement sort of melts the pvc, welding it together. Cleaner does penetrate the surface but does not melt it.

I'm interesting in dying PVC pipes a wood grain effect. Would I need just the brown dye or would I need additional colors like red or black to mix with the brown?

This method seems a little time consuming. There's a much better method shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIniyplj0TM Obviously only better if you have PVC pipe and not electrical cords! Excuse the tongue in cheek humor, us rollerbladers are full of it.
