Color was perhaps the most difficult section of Textiles 101 to figure out (note the many discarded design concepts littered about my desk). Dyes don’t work the in same way as paint, nor in the way you think traditional color mixing should go (red + blue = purple). Dyeing is essentially chemistry at work and natural dyes still retain a lot of variance and mystery. Dyes can produce one color under some conditions, and another color under different conditions, making it really difficult to talk in absolutes. 

I loved digging in deep to figure out how to tell the best stories about textile colors. Special thank you to patient curators, our librarian, and a couple of highly recommended books:

Natural Dyes: Sources, Tradition, Technology and Science by Dominique Cardon

Wild Colour: Sources, Methods and Applications of Natural Dyeing by Jenny Dean

  WHY IS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY GREEN?

The Statue of Liberty is a famous landmark with an iconic blue-green  color. However, it wasn't always green. When the Statue was unveiled in 1886,  it was a shiny brown color, like a penny. By 1906, the color had changed to  green. The reason the Statue of Liberty changed colors is because the outer  surface is covered with hundreds of thin copper sheets. Copper reacts with  the air to form a patina or verdigris. The verdigris layer protects the  underlying metal from corrosion and degradation, which is why copper, brass,  and bronze sculptures are so durable.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT MAKE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY GREEN

Most people know copper reacts with air to form verdigris, but the  Statue of Liberty is its own special color because of its unique  environmental conditions. It's not a simple single reaction between copper  and oxygen to produce a green oxide, like you might think. The copper oxide  continues to react to make copper carbonates, copper sulfide, and copper  sulfate.

The funny thing is, I always thought the purpose of color film was supposed to be that the color STAYED on the film. #E6 #filmisnotdead #colorchemistry #imadeamess #photography

Alright, so, this is @mrtremelo melting people's faces off tonight at the @hobhouston🎸🔥 I couldn't help but smile the entire time he played, being all lit up like a brand new lighbulb. He looks absolutely handsome in this photo doing what he loves, which makes me fall for him even more. If you missed tonight, you REALLY missed a killer performance by his band. 📷Photo by the talented @steveoshoots #HOBHouston #LocalMusic #ColorChemistry #ProgressiveMetal #Metal #SteveOShoots #Headbanging (at House of Blues Houston)

 HOW TO MAKE A RAINBOW ROSE

Have you seen a rainbow rose? It's a real rose, grown to produce  petals in rainbow colors. The colors are so vivid, you may think pictures of  the roses are digitally enhanced, but the flowers really are that bright! So,  you may be wondering how the colors are made and whether the rose bushes that  produce these flowers always bloom in vibrant colors. Here's how it works and  how you can make a rainbow rose yourself.

How Real Rainbow Roses Work

The "rainbow rose" was developed by Peter van de  Werken, the owner of a Dutch flower company. While special roses are used,  the plants are not bred to produce the rich colors. Actually, the rose bush  would ordinarily produce white roses, but the stems of the flowers are  injected over time with dyes so that petals form in bright single colors. If  the flower isn't treated as it is growing, the blooms are white, not rainbow.  While the rainbow is a special version of the technique, other color patterns  are also possible.
