Perhaps

Goldenrod

would stand out without showing the dirt too much?

Yes.

The seeds make better color but you could follow this recipe

How to extract color from flower petals?

Safety first
Pick your flowers (remember to ask permission) – enough petals to fill a coffee cup, packed moderately. Find a small jar in which to cover the petals with warm or boiling water. ...
Add 2–3 drops of vinegar and a pinch of salt. ...
Using a sieve, strain the liquid into the jar and the ink is ready to use.

sunflower seeds make a purple dye. Coffee as a dye seems popular. I wonder if

espresso

can be used.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye:
The majority of natural dyes are derived from non-animal

sources

such as roots, berries, bark, leaves, wood, fungi and lichens. However, due to large-scale demand and technological improvements, most dyes used in the modern world are synthetically produced from substances such as petrochemicals. Some are extracted from insects and/or minerals.

An adventure I don't want, a red tattoo...

Red

tattoo pigment is the most likely to cause negative reactions in the body including allergic reactions and itchy skin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattoo

Spanish depiction of the tattoos (patik) of the Visayan Pintados ("the painted

ones

") of the Philippines in the Boxer Codex (c. 1590), one of the earliest depictions of native Austronesian tattoos by European explorers.

Patik is also a traditional handmade sock. A tradition since the 7th century B.C. in Anatolia, Turkey. Long valued as

essential

and practical home apparel for all seasons, they are also a mark of Turkish hospitality. Wearing exterior footwear indoors is frowned upon so hosts pride themselves on keeping their guests comfortable and warm by offering patiks. Patiks are even offered as a gift to newlyweds by family, relatives and neighbors.

I have this thing about terror birds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae. And just read this evening about Brazilian farmers often using their closest living relatives, the red-legged seriema, as guard animals against livestock predators and burglars. So I introduce to you

Cariama

cristata.
