a blue dye obtained from plants or made synthetically
-
aniline dye
any of many dyes made from aniline
-
azo dye
any dye containing one or more azo groups
-
basic color, basic colour, basic dye
a dye that is considered to be a base because the chromophore is part of a positive ion
-
blue, blueing, bluing
used to whiten laundry or hair or give it a bluish tinge
-
bromophenol blue, bromphenol blue, tetrabromo-phenolsulfonephthalein

-
methyl orange
an azo dye used as an acid-base indicator; used for titrations involving weak bases
