You’ve probably seen marigolds blooming in gardens everywhere, but did you know those vibrant orange petals can create a rich, glowing color for your fabric? This isn’t just any orange—it’s a warm, radiant hue that captures the essence of a perfect sunset. It’s the kind of color that makes you feel like you’ve wrapped yourself in sunshine.
Fashion Inspiration: Think of this as the color of confidence. Whether you wear it in a lightweight summer dress, a scarf that pops, or a bold jacket, Sunset Orange exudes warmth and energy. I love pairing it with deep blues or earthy tones for a contrast that feels both fresh and grounded. It’s a playful yet powerful color, perfect for those who want to stand out in a crowd.

Lavender is one of those colors that instantly brings peace and calm to your mind, and now, thanks to its natural dyeing properties, you can wear that feeling.

Fashion Inspiration: Lush Lavender is perfect for anyone who loves soft femininity with a modern twist. Imagine a flowy lavender blouse paired with jeans or a dress that moves with you, exuding both grace and confidence. It pairs beautifully with neutrals like white, beige, and gray, or you can embrace the full romantic vibe by mixing it with deep plum or even soft pinks. It’s a color that transitions effortlessly from day to night.

Crimson Red is one of those timeless, show-stopping colors that make a statement before you even speak. It’s rich, powerful, and passionate—everything you want in a dye. Derived from the madder root, this color has a long history, and it’s easy to see why it’s been a favorite for centuries. If you’re looking for a dye that says “I’m here,” this is it.
Fashion Inspiration: Whether you wear it as a full-on outfit or just an accent piece, Crimson Red demands attention. A red dress? Pure confidence. A crimson scarf? Instant personality. The best part? This shade works with almost anything. Pair it with gold for a luxurious feel, or combine it with black or navy to make it feel a bit more dramatic. Either way, it’s a color that’s bold, timeless, and always in style.

Teal Green is one of those colors that feels like it’s pulling you into nature itself—cool, soothing, yet undeniably bold. A mix of indigo and weld, this color is somewhere between blue and green, creating a mysterious and serene tone that feels like the perfect balance of calm and power. It’s a shade that invites curiosity and makes a statement without saying too much.
Fashion Inspiration: Teal Green is all about elegance with an edge. Imagine wearing a beautifully tailored blazer or a silky shirt in this color—you’ll instantly feel like you’ve stepped into a room with confidence and poise. It pairs wonderfully with metallics (like gold or silver) for a chic look or with earthy tones like brown and beige for something more relaxed and natural. Teal Green also looks amazing when layered with other jewel tones for a rich, sophisticated palette.
- Golden Yellow:

Golden Yellow is the perfect color for anyone who wants to add a little sunshine to their wardrobe. Inspired by the rich, warm tones of turmeric, this color brings light and energy wherever it goes. It’s not just a color—it’s an attitude. Bold, optimistic, and ready to shine.
Fashion Inspiration: This isn’t a color for blending in. It’s for standing out and embracing the vibrancy of life. Golden Yellow works wonderfully in flowy dresses, scarves, or accessories like bags and shoes. Pair it with earthy browns or warm reds to create a grounded look, or keep things light by combining it with pastels for a softer, cheerful vibe. If you’re looking for a color that says “I’m ready to take on the world,” Golden Yellow is your go-to.
