Yellow is the easiest color to find in nature, and the most useful for overdyeing. Our natural yellow dyes for fabric include weld powder and weld extract (Reseda luteola), Persian berries (Turkish buckthorn, cehri) as whole berries, powder and extract, pomegranate peel, onion skins and safflower.
Choosing a yellow
- Weld: the clearest, most lightfast lemon yellow.
- Persian berries (buckthorn): warm golden yellows from Turkish cehri berries. See the Persian berries dye guide.
- Pomegranate: golden khaki tones, rich in tannin.
- Onion skins: orange, rust and copper.
Greens and oranges
Overdye yellows with indigo for greens, or with madder for oranges. A touch of iron turns yellows olive.
