I highly recommend this brand (http://www.ebonyline.com/ador0415.html), which is to be found at beauty supply stores around here. It doesn't come in as wide a range of colors as Manic Panic or Special Effects, but because it requires heat processing (blow drying your hair to make the color set), you can wash it off your skin easily before blow drying, and it doesn't turn your counters and bathtubs funny colors.
