This study tries to test whether certain plants(as listed below) can be a possible source of colors used as dyes, and to find out which part of the said plants (stems,leaves,roots,flowers,seeds) produces quality colors against the elements of water, sunlight, temperature etc.

Sample plants with their colors:(possible colors)

Green - Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus)
Star apple (Chrysophyllum cainito)
Malbar Nightsahde (Basella rubra Linn)

Purple - Ube ( Discorea alata)
Malabar Nightsahade (Basella rubra Linn)

Specifically, the study will try to answer the ff. questions:

1. Are the materials attainable?
2.What part of the said plants produces quality colors against environmental elements?
3. Is the intensity of the color produced by such plants good enough to be applied in fibers etc.?
4. Are the colors comparable to the commercial ones?
5. Are the colors produced, can be used as an alternative dye?
6.Will dyes work differently in different types od fabrics?
7. Will different parts of the same plant produce different colors?
