    Natural dyes are dyes derived from plants, fungi, lichens, and other organic sources. Archaeologists have found evidence of textile dyeing with natural dyes dating back to the Neolithic period over 5,000 years ago. The discovery of synthetic dyes in the 19th century triggered a decline in natural dyes, as synthetics could be produced in larger quantities. However, natural dyeing techniques have been preserved and the market for natural dyes in fashion is now experiencing a resurgence. The document then provides details on the processes of natural dyeing and examples of common natural dyes for producing colors like red, yellow, blue, black, brown, green, orange, and peach.

    Introduction:Natural dyes are dyes or colorants derived from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. The majority of natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plant sources roots, berries, bark, leaves, and wood and other organic sources such as fungi and lichens.

    Natural dyes

    Nature expresses itself in a wide spectrum of colours all aroundus. The alchemy of colours started from an early time. Indians have been forerunners in the art of natural dyeing. The advent of synthetic dyes caused rapid decline in the use of natural dyes. which were completely replaced by the former within a century.

    HISTORY:*Archaeologists have found evidence of textiledyeing dating back to the Neolithic period. In China, dyeing with plants,
    barks and insects has been traced back more than 5,000 years

    *Many natural dyes require the use of chemicals called mordants to bind the dye to the textile fibers; tannin from oak
    galls, salt, natural alum, vinegar, and ammonia from stale urine were used by early dyers.

    *The discovery of man-made synthetic dyes in the mid-19th century triggered a long decline in the large-scale market for
    natural dyes.

    *Synthetic dyes, which could be produced in large quantities, quickly superseded natural dyes for the commercial textile. *Natural dyeing techniques are also preserved by artisans in traditional cultures around the world. *In the early 21st century, the market for natural dyes in the fashion industry is experiencing a resurgence.
