Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.
So I actually looked this up on this site this morning for my bio quiz and couldn't find the answer,.. well I've got it now so here you go,.. Iodine is used to take a look at the amyloplasts and Methylene blue is used to highlight the nuclei.
which stain is used to colour chromosomes

Wright's stain is a Romanowsky stain used in medical laboratories to differentiate blood cells for microscopy. Other stains used for blood cell differentiation include Giemsa stain, Leishman stain, and Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Each stain has specific applications and staining properties.
Maneval's stain is a histological stain used for the detection of glycogen in tissues. It involves the use of periodic acid to oxidize the glycogen followed by Schiff's reagent to stain the oxidized glycogen magenta. Manaval's stain is commonly used in the study of liver and muscle tissues.

The organelles that can absorb iodine stain and be seen with the low power of a compound light microscope are the nucleus and the starch granules (amyloplasts). Iodine stains the nucleic acids in the nucleus and the stored starch in the amyloplasts, making them visible under the microscope.
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
The counter or secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure is safranin.
The counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique is methylene blue.
