Dyes A dye is a coloured substance that has an affinity to the substrate to which it is applied. Plants containing dyes are listed in Table 8. The dye applied in an aqueous solution requires a mordant to improve the fastness of the dye on the fibre. Natural dyes are dyes or colourants 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. — 8 Plants containing dyes
