The history of color is inextricably linked with human civilization, textiles, and art. For millennia, societies around the world relied on natural sources—plants, insects, and minerals—to create the vibrant hues that adorned their clothing, art, and sacred objects. Among these, indigo dye holds a particularly prominent place, with archaeological evidence dating its use back thousands of years across cultures from Peru to India and Japan.

Natural indigo, extracted from various plants, was a labor-intensive but highly valued commodity. Its unique property of requiring a reduction process to become soluble in a dyeing vat made it distinct from many other dyes. This 'vat dyeing' technique allowed for deep, rich blues that were highly resistant to fading. However, the discovery of synthetic indigo in the late 19th century revolutionized the industry, making the coveted blue color widely accessible and affordable, leading to the decline of natural indigo cultivation on a commercial scale.

Today, while synthetic indigo, such as Vat Blue 1 Indigo Blue 94%, dominates the market for industrial applications, the legacy of historical dyes continues to influence textile preservation and artisanal crafts. Museums and conservators actively study ancient dyeing techniques, while modern textile colorants manufacturers like NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. draw upon this history to inform the development of high-performance products.
