Madder, obtained from the roots of the Alkanna tinctoria plant, is a powerful natural dye appreciated for its ability to produce intense shades ranging from purple-red to plum purple, depending on the pH of the mixture. The presence of alcanin, a plant pigment, gives the color depth and richness, making it particularly useful in natural dyeing mixtures.
When used without altering the pH, madder tends to produce mahogany tones, but the final shade can be adjusted by adding acidic or alkaline substances:
- With an acidic liquid (e.g., lemon juice or vinegar – about 1 tablespoon per 100g of powder): the resulting color will be warmer and more vibrant, with intense red highlights.
- With a small amount of baking soda (1 teaspoon per 100g of powder): the mixture becomes more alkaline, shifting the result towards cool tones, such as plum or purple.
