Fabric colors and/or dyes

[casketchris]

I was just wondering if anybody has or knows of a site that might have a list of fabric colors or dye colors that were in common use during the golden age. I’m getting ready to start a new sailor’s jacket for the wife and wanted to do something a bit different not the same old tan brown gray natural colors that I always use.

Hey Chris,

there is this Old Thread on the matter, while even the old thread doesn't have all the answers, picking up that discussion and reviving it might be enough to satisfy you, or perhaps it might restart the discussion again so all the information stays together!
