This volume explores how historical dyers and pigment makers manipulated natural dyes to produce the vibrant colours seen in textiles, tapestries, and paintings today. Drawing on research from the EU-funded CHARISMA project, it examines key factors—such as mordants, temperature, and extraction methods—that influenced final colours. Focusing on both textile dyeing and the preparation of lake pigments for painting, the book reveals the sophisticated material knowledge behind colour creation in cultural heritage objects.
