         21 . A method for preparing a multicolored tufted textile comprising:
 tufting a first plurality of undyed pile yarns formed from one or more polyamide polymers and a second plurality of undyed pile yarns formed from one or more polyester polymers into a backing material to form an undyed tufted textile;   wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of undyed yarns comprises a pattern in the undyed tufted textile; and   applying a dye solution comprising one or more dyes to the tufted textile;   wherein the first plurality of undyed pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for a first dye of the dye solution than the second plurality of undyed pile yarns.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the first dye comprises one or more acid dyes. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 ,
 wherein the second plurality of undyed pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for a second dye of the dye solution than the first plurality of undyed pile yarns.   
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the second dye comprises one or more disperse dyes. 
     
     
         25 . A method for preparing a multicolored tufted textile comprising:
 tufting a first plurality of undyed pile yarns formed from one or more polyamide polymers and a second plurality of pile yarns formed from one or more polyester polymers into a backing material to form an undyed tufted textile;   wherein tufting the first and second pluralities of undyed yarn in the backing material creates at least one pattern in the undyed tufted textile;   applying a first dye to the tufted textile, wherein the first plurality of undyed pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for the first dye than the second plurality of undyed pile yarns; and   applying a second dye to the tufted textile, wherein the second plurality of undyed pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for the second dye than the first plurality of undyed pile yarns.   
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 25 , wherein the first dye is applied prior to the second dye. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 25 , wherein the second dye is applied prior to the first dye. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 25 , wherein the first dye and the second dye are applied simultaneously. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the first dye comprises one or more acid dyes. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 29 , wherein the second dye comprises one or more disperse dyes. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 30 , wherein the tufted textile comprises a tufted carpet. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 31 , wherein the one or more polyamide polymers include a polymer is a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamide 16, polyamide 46, polyamide 410, polyamide 4T, polyamide 510, polyamide D6, polyamide 610, polyamide 612, polyamide 6T, polyamide 6I, polyamide 66, polyamide 610, polyamide 612, polyamide 6T, polyamide 6I, polyamide MXD6, polyamide 9T, polyamide 1010, polyamide 10T, polyamide 1212, polyamide 12T, polyamide PACM12, polyamide TMDT, polyamide 6, polyamide 11, polyamide 12, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 31 , wherein the one or more polyamide polymers comprises polyamide 6, polyamide 66, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 32 , wherein the one or more polyester polymers comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET). 
     
     
         35 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the one or more polyester polymers comprises polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). 
     
     
         36 . A tufted textile produced by the method of  claim 35 . 
     
     
         37 .- 57 . (canceled) 
     
     
         58 . A tufted textile comprising:
 a backing material having a first side and a second side;   a plurality of pile yarns stitched within the backing material, each pile yarn having a facing portion which projects away from the first side of the backing material and a backing portion adjacent to the second side;   wherein the plurality of pile yarns comprises a first plurality of pile yarns formed from one or more polyamide polymers and a second plurality of pile yarns formed from one or more polyester polymers;   wherein the first and second plurality of yarns form at least one pattern on the first side of the backing material; and   wherein the color of the first plurality of pile yarns is in register with the at least one pattern.   
     
     
         59 . A method of making the tufted textile of  claim 58 , comprising:
 making a griege product by stitching the plurality of pile yarns into the backing material wherein the plurality of pile yarns are undyed;   dyeing the griege product in at least a first dye where the first plurality of pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for the first dye than the second plurality of pile yarns.   
     
     
         60 . The method of making the tufted textile of  claim 59 , further comprising:
 dyeing the griege product in at least a second dye where the second plurality of pile yarns has a greater dye affinity for the second dye than the first plurality of pile yarns.   
     
     
         61 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the one or more polyamide polymers is a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamide 16, polyamide 46, polyamide 410, polyamide 4T, polyamide 510, polyamide D6, polyamide 610, polyamide 612, polyamide 6T, polyamide 6I, polyamide 66, polyamide 610, polyamide 612, polyamide 6T, polyamide 6I, polyamide MXD6, polyamide 9T, polyamide 1010, polyamide 10T, polyamide 1212, polyamide 12T, polyamide PACM12, polyamide TMDT, polyamide 6, polyamide 11, polyamide 12, and combinations thereof.
