Saffranin is a " counter stain " . this is also a " basic dye " which is in different color than primary stain ( basic dye crystal violet ) .

The purpose counter stain ( saffranin ) is to give the decolourised cells a color , that is different from first one ( crystal violet ).

The microbes which are not decolourised by alcohol retains the stain, while the decolourised cell take up the counter stain ( saffranin ).
