<p>59.146.221.130: </p> <hr /> <div>oudare<br /> There were few period sources for '''purple dye'''. Chief among the possible sources were shellfish purples ([[tyrian purple]] and [[kermes]]) which were bright dark purples (perhaps rather more reddish in tone than modern purples). Pale pink/mauve could be derived from [[lichen]] ([[orchil]]), which had better availability, but was less colourfast. <br /> <br /> ==Internal Links==<br /> ''See also:''<br /> * [[period brown]].<br /> <br /> ==Sources of [[period]] recipes for purple dyes==<br /> * [http://www.elizabethancostume.net/dyes/profitable.html A Profitable Booke], 1586<br /> <br /> [[category:dyes]]<br /> [[category:colour]]</div>
