Wood dye recommendations

I have kitchen and bathroom cabinets I refinished ~15 years ago using Transtint dye, no fading. I have a several turnings 10-12 years old done with Transtint, no fading. None of this wood gets much direct sun, if it did I’m sure it would fade, but if kept out of direct sunlight, it’s fade free.
 
I like the Keda dyes because I like to see the grain. I bought their liquid dye and mix it with alcohol. When I don’t want to see the grain like with finials then I use black India ink.
