Nope, I can't say I ever tried. I use black horn for saddles and nuts though.

How do those sound in comparison to unbleached and bleached bone I hear the are a bit darker sounding is that true.

Maybe a bit softer than bone, but to be honest I have been happy with them and I have used both. If you have it in your head though that there is a difference on something like that, you are likely to percieve a difference(sometimes pre-concieved notions work that way). Bone is cheap, so give it a try with different dyes. It will likely not penetrate extreamly deep and you may see wear near strings. However the majority of the nut does not get much wear so it may be fine. Either way changing a nut is easy, and cheap so you have very little to risk. Go for it
