The 22 pages that link to Dye, each with the reason it gives.

• PigmentCompared with: Unlike pigments, dyes generally do not remain as separate insoluble particles in the medium.

• DyeingNarrower topic: Dyes are the colorants applied to fibers, yarns, or fabrics.

• MordantRelated: A mordant’s effect depends on its interactions with the particular dye.

• Subtractive colorRelated: Dyes produce subtractive colors in textiles, inks, and photographic layers.

• InkCompared with: Dyes dissolve in ink, unlike the suspended particles used in many pigment inks.

• Structural colorationCompared with: Dyes color materials through molecular absorption rather than microscopic optical architecture.

• Organic compoundBroader topic: Organic dyes use molecular structure to absorb selected wavelengths of light.

• Printing inkCompared with: Some inks use dissolved dyes instead of the suspended pigments common in durable printing inks.

• NitrationRelated: Nitrated aromatic compounds can serve as intermediates in synthesizing dyes.

• Textile conservationRelated: Dye chemistry helps predict fading, bleeding, and compatibility with cleaning methods.

• Dry cleaningRelated: A solvent can affect dyes as well as soils, so colorfastness matters.

• LaundryRelated: Dye stability determines whether colors fade or bleed during laundering.

• SulfonationRelated: Sulfonic acid groups often improve the water solubility of dyes used in aqueous applications.

• Textile printingRelated: Dyes color fibers directly and are common in printing methods for cellulosic and protein fabrics.

• PhenolphthaleinNarrower topic: Phenolphthalein emerged from nineteenth-century research into synthetic organic dyes.

• AcetanilideNarrower topic: Acetanilide serves as a starting material for synthesizing some dyes.

• Tannic acidNarrower topic: Tannic acid can act as a mordant that helps dyes attach to fibers.

• IndigoNarrower topic: Indigo also names a coloring substance used on textiles.

• Marker penCompared with: Dyes dissolve in marker ink, unlike the dispersed particles of pigments.

• NitrobenzeneNarrower topic: Nitrobenzene-derived aniline supplies intermediates for many synthetic dyes.

• Anthranilic acidNarrower topic: Anthranilic acid and its derivatives have been used as intermediates in dye manufacture.

• Chlorosulfuric acidRelated: Sulfonation can improve the water solubility of dye molecules.
