Vibrant natural colours

Natural Dye

Ongoing Development

Living up to Natural Craft's name, NCCE is developing new colours from nature's sources. Jointly with DOST-PTRI, a project was commissioned to create new natural tones in a sustainable way. These are the colours we can provide so far.

A safe choice

The colors produced by natural dyes and pigments are vibrant. It is biodegradable, nontoxic and nonallergic too.

Raw materials of Natural Dye are most plant based. Most of Natural Dyes also have antimicrobial properties, making them safer for kids.

Colours come alive

Color shades may vary and difficult to reproduce depending on crop season of agro-products, species to species, maturity etc. Expect 1-2 tones lower/higher from the color swatch above.

The dyed abaca fiber may alter color when exposed to the sun, travail as well as air.
