Most things that are being dyed are organic, so for the dye to take well it needs an organic component. Inorganic dyes tend to simply wash out.
organic compounds as dyes are more reactive because the dying materials are usually organic and binding between similar substances is a fast process.
dyes that are not man made
Vat dyes are insoluble in water because they are composed of large molecules that do not have the necessary chemical groups to form bonds with water molecules. This lack of affinity for water makes vat dyes soluble in organic solvents instead.
Henna dye is organic, derived from the leaves of the henna plant. It is a natural alternative to synthetic hair dyes and doesn't contain harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional dyes.
Acids used in dyes are typically weak organic acids, such as acetic acid or citric acid. These acids help to maintain the pH level of the dye solution, which is important for dye uptake by the fabric.
Generally they are organic compounds.

To determine which solution most likely shows a vivid color, we typically consider solutions with strong chromophores, such as those containing metal ions or organic dyes. For example, solutions of transition metal complexes often exhibit bright colors due to d-d transitions in their electronic structures. Additionally, solutions containing pH indicators or concentrated organic dyes can also display vivid colors. Ultimately, the specific identity of the solutions would provide a clearer answer.
Litmus paper changes color because it contains a mixture of dyes that are sensitive to the pH of a solution. When the pH of the solution changes, the dyes in the litmus paper react with the hydrogen ions present in the solution, causing a change in color.

Extracting an organic solution involves separating desired components from a mixture, while washing an organic solution involves removing impurities or unwanted substances from the solution.
If you buy organic yams, you can eat the entire yam including the skin. If you buy traditionally prepared yams you should peel them because they are often treated with dye or wax. * i beg to differ. first conventially grown yams are most certenlly not treated with dyes or wax, secondly the use of many dyes and certainly wax is permitted in organic farming as it is a "natural" product (if you think you can sense some sarcasm you're not wrong) so if that whats worrying you eating organic is no solution.
