Haven't tried it, but Body Art magazine did a special on the subject, years ago. They recommended using facial hair bleach, but then proceeding as normal with Directions or Crazy Colour type hair dyes, IIRC.
pretty hard actually, and i'm a natural blond so mine should have been relatively easy. i used a high peroxide bleach (be careful w/ it if you have tender skin though or you will wind up with a poor sad tender cooter ;p) and then the color. it's a bitch to keep up too and looks strange growing out.
The vegan store on Bloor just West of Bathurst carries a product that is 100% vegan and I believe fairly all natural that is formulated *just for* making the carpet match the drapes. I believe they have a purple in the colour line up too. It's from this company: http://www.bettybeauty.com/
Also, this might be helpful...not that I'm saying that your carpet's grey, I'd have no idea, but it does have neat tips like covering the tender bits in Vaseline to protect them, etc. http://womenshealth.about.com/od/womenshealthandbeauty/ht/dyebodyhair.htm
