There are many different dyes. The solid dye itself may be a pure substance, or (particularly if it's a natural extract) a mixture of closely related substances. However, in use the dye is almost always dissolved, so the solution is a mixture. Some dyes also need to be mixed with a mordant to make them adhere to the material.
