Is it a sherwani or a kurta pajama?

I don't think you should dye it, personally. I would get something new.

I don't think that a ready-made outfit can be re-dyed. Can you contact the shop where you purchased it from? If you can, ask them.

If your sister is flying out then she can purchase a pretty inexpensive sherwani kurta from Pakistan. It won't be a regular sherwani but would be festive enough for a shaadi or eid.

turquoise, hmmm yeah try dying it for a darker colour, it should be fine.

Re: colour change in ready made shewani

any outfit with kaam on it cannot be dyed because the heating part in the dying process will melt the kaam.
anything stitched but without kaam can get dyed, provided ofcourse that the fabric will take the colour.

Can't you add something turquoise to your outfit (like a patti at the daman or simple pipping) and let him wear the sherwani? :)

Hmm… you don’t have to be matchy matchy. If you like the look of this following pic, you can reverse the colours in your mind and see whether the overall look goes well together:
