Orange: Perhaps carrots could be used to dye wool orange.

Red: Elderberry when the fruits were mixed with wool would give a reddish hue.

Purple: Blackberry Fruit would give a strong purple hue to wool.

Blue: Indigo leaves would make a blue color when mixed with wool.

Green: Spinach leaves could be used for dying wool a dark hue of green.

Yellow: Celery Leaves could be used to dye wool yellow.

This thread gave me a idea. Last time i saw some threads about contaminations of water and some other organic contaminations. If they would by implemented it would by cool to use them as dyes also. For example there is a very little bug called Cochineal and it is very popular source of red dye IRL. I wonder what Biox think's about it.

[platanusoccidentalis 35]

Yes, it seems the idea would fit with the mod nicely.

Snails use to be the main source of purple dye believe it or not. besides blackberries dye things red I would know I have football field sized bramble thicket out my backdoor.

Should we make a list?

Arsenic (ore) - Green dye

Titanium dioxide (a ore or poweder) - White dye

Carbon - Black dye

RubiaMadder (plant or herb) - Pink dye

Cobalt - Blue dye

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use cobalt to dye my wool...

[platanusoccidentalis 35]

We should try putting together a list.

Arsenic shouldn't be used to dye wool green, mainly because it's extremely poisonous.

How about... carpet. And then you dye carpet. I hate using a metre cubed of wool for carpet. Would you not sink into it?

Yeah but i don't think the poisonous heavy metals are the main threat in the overworld

I really like the idea of making carpets.
