it depends on the specific way you dye it and dry it. lol
Indium is the element that has a shade of blue which is found mostly in indigo. Different elements will have different colors.
Different types of dyes are used for different textile fibers based on the characteristics of the fiber. For example, acid dyes are used for protein-based fibers like silk and wool because they bond well with the amino groups in these fibers. Reactive dyes are used for cellulosic fibers like cotton because they form covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups in cellulose, providing good wash-fastness. Disperse dyes are used for synthetic fibers like polyester because they have low solubility in water and can penetrate the hydrophobic surface of these fibers.
organic compounds as dyes are more reactive because the dying materials are usually organic and binding between similar substances is a fast process.
Some examples of natural dyes include indigo (blue), turmeric (yellow), cochineal (red), henna (orange/brown), and madder root (pink/red). These dyes are derived from plants, insects, and minerals and have been used for centuries to color textiles.
One method to separate dyes of different colors in black ink is through a process called chromatography. In chromatography, the ink sample is placed on a material that allows the dyes to move at different rates, based on their chemical properties. As the dyes separate, they can be visually distinguished by the bands of different colors they produce on the material.

there's indigo dye
Indium is the element that has a shade of blue which is found mostly in indigo. Different elements will have different colors.
Indigo is a plant that dyes fabric blue. Eliza Lucas Pinckney developed indigo as an important cash crop for South Carolina starting in 1739.
A fiber reactive dye react with the material, is chemically linked to these fibers.

Indigo is a distince blue color, and the dyes have a long history of manufacture and use. Certainly there are synthetically manufactured today as opposed to being made with Indigo tinctoria and I. suifruticosa and other legumes as they were "back in the day" when they were first being used.

it was used as a dye...-------------mARzs sez..:Indigo was a highly-valued crop in British colonial Florida. One of the oldest and most-durable of dyes..
Although I'm not aware of any 'indigo' colored plants ('blue jean' or denim blue), there are some which produce naturally blue flowers: agapanthus, bachelor buttons, iris, corn flower, violets to name a few. The actual indigo plant is green, and through a process of fermentation, it produces the dark, intense indigo blue dye.
There are a large number of plant based dyes. But if you are studying the history of the American colonies, you are probably looking for Indigo.
