Dye Box

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
I work in a biochemistry research laboratory. Inventorying the chemical dye box, I found some beautiful names, which comprise the first 30-or-so words on this list.
Please comment if you know any other names of synthetic dyes such as these!

Also see my list of beautiful colours.

"Mauve" is one of my favorite books of the last several years.

This timeline is a good overview of the development of synthetic dyes. StainsFile is a catalogue of dyes.

Wonderful list, Vega! Merriam-Webster's Third Unabridged has a four-page table of dyes that might provide further inspiration.
