Color
After dyeing with natural indigo, I became more aware to watch colors around me. Soon, I realized the flowers in front of the grocery store on the street corner are too brighter than the flowers at the farmer’s market in Union Square Park. Also noticed most of the colors on our clothes we now wear didn’t exist 100 years ago.
The blue of natural indigo, one of the oldest dye colors among many natural dyes, are not very bright like other chemical blue dye. However, this world’s oldest dye color has many kind of shades and hues, and shows different faces depending on what kind of fabric is to be dyed, or how deep the color is to be dyed.
Also you may realize that the color gets brighter after washing several times, because impurities will be washing out too.
