Question about dying curly maple

I have a customer that wants me to make a small rain stick made out of curly maple but wants me to make the maple as light as possible, and if possible make it an ivory color. What could I use to dye the curly maple to make it as white as possible?

If it was ANY OTHER COLOR I’d know how to do it but turning it white/ivory will be a first for me.

Ideas?
