Dyed hair for Halloween, this morning discover a purple stain on the cream patterned wallpaper! Help!

Thinking diluted bleach/acetone and dab at it and perhaps can paint over with a thin layer of paint it's like a magnolia colour

So annoyed with myself and didn't even notice until this morning, have blotted away what I can

Does the room get much sun? If so, I wouldn't try anything too drastic. Sunlight works wonders on many stains..

Use a magic sponge to see if you can lift the worst of it. They are good on wallpaper.

What type of paper is it? The danger with bleach is you lift the colour out and make it worse so I'd be keeping that as a last resort.

You are better to go slowly and gently. Magic sponge, let it dry and repeat to avoid damaging the surface too much. Be patient.

I once got red wine on my kitchen wallpaper. I sprayed some of the kitchen cleaner called “ Elbow grease ” and it faded before my eyes.
I also use this product on curry stained clothes and it works.
It’s the bright yellow product,
