Coloring MC

Obviously this doesn't matter for already colored tissue paper, but let's say I wanted to utilize a bunch of tracing paper or white tissue paper by dying the mc a desired color before applying it.

Has anybody tried this? I'm a long time folder, but I've just started dabbling into the processes of back-coating paper.

Tadashimori has a tutorial on YouTube for exactly this, he just put some acrylic paint in the mc before sizing.

I don't want to bump, but my bleeding tissue colors the brush and when I dip it in MC color comes off...is there a way to reverse that?
