Dyed samples and their colors

This gallery shows color samples measured from materials dyed with various plants included in this database. The materials were dyed with plant parts or even with whole plants, and no chemical analyses of the colourants have been performed. This gallery only showcases what colors one might be able to get from the listed plants.

The database contains dyed samples and color measurements from these samples.

Click the details-button on a color sample swatch to see more information about the dyed sample that produced that color. The results can also be filtered by color within an allowed color difference: select a color in the color selector below and adjust the color difference slider.

Alternative views of the color measurements are also available: check out our dense color palette or a CIELAB 3D-plot.
