Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello I am doing an experiment on Natural Dyes. My question is: What type of plant( Red Onion, Purple Cabbage, and Beet) when boiled, creates the deepest colour in a strip of t-shirt ?

For this project I need to interview an expert on my topic who knows lots Natural Dyes and Mordants. This interview is due in 3 days so please get back to me quickly, thanks!

Questions:

1) What is your name, your job, and what business do you work for ?

2) Where do natural dyes get used ?

3) What causes colour to increase/decrease ?

4) Could you please sent me an email with permission to use your name & info in my report at [e-mail deleted by moderator]

Hi,

You need to be aware of Science Buddies policy on interviews:

This will prevent all experts from complying with your request.

Sorry, but I am not an expert in this area

As Barrett said, we do not allow any communication to occur outside of this web-board, so I have deleted your e-mail address.

I am also not an expert on dyes, and I am not sure we have any on the board; I suggest contacting someone in your community and speaking with them instead.

Thank you
