History. Dyeing has been important and an important item of trade since time immemorial. We should address it. -LlywelynII (talk) 09:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
There's no good definition of affinity on the affinity page that strictly matches the use of affinity in this article. Someone who knows the subject better should fix the link, with or without adding a new affinity (something) article.
Why man-made?
organic here has the scientific meaning of being a carbon compound. ie organic dyes are compounds which contain the element carbon. This is the normal definition of organic when relating to a chemical compound such as a dye molecule. Organic in the everyday sense as applied to foods, cotton fibres etc refers to food derived from plants grown without artificial pesticides or fertilisers. (Instead fertilisers such as fish meal are used which in turn leadSpecial:Contributions/chemrover (talk) 14:03, 8 March 2016 (UTC) to environmental problems in the sea such as the demise of sandeels and their common predators such as cod, puffins and sea trout.)the other irony is that most pesticides would be classed as organic compounds , in the chemistry sense, since they are carbon compounds. Hopefully this clears things up a bit
natural dyes are organic dyes which are harvested from living organisms eg plants (eg indigo), insects (eg cochineal), shellfish etc.
Synthetic organic dyes are still carbon compounds but have been made from starting materials extracted, usually from fossil sources such as coal or oil. Hence 'analine dyes' are synthetic organic dyes made from starting materials which include analine, a substance extracted from coal tar.
Please answer in 1 paragraph. (Its for my grade 9 science project and I need to know please. I will cite this page on my project (im not gonna plagiarize) :-) thanx.--[[User:Storkian|Storkian] 00:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Would be great to have some comments on what kinds of dyes are used in ink jet based printers, and what specific properties of dyes make them less color-fast in this application.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.51.73.161 (talk) 20:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
This article is poorly written. It contains too many words that most people won't be able to understand. Wikipedia should be a place where everyone can easily learn, not a place for snobs to show off their intellectual prowess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.26.68.146 (talk) 17:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Mauveine is an aniline dye - is that the same as synthetic organic? 110.32.230.87 (talk) 07:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Britannica has an excellent overview of synthetic dye techniques. Many dye companies have the same, like Meghmani. – SJ + 02:07, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
