On the other hand, we can refer to Cartoneids which are the pigments solved in the saffron little fat. Saffron color was once the royal color in ancient Greece. Even now the beautiful color of saffron stigma is one of the most expressive colors for stain threads of valuable and fine clothes. Because this plant is too expensive, it can’t be used in large amounts for staining. If there should be any economic justification, this color can be used in a wide scope.

At the time being, this color is mostly used to stain silk, for example, to create artistic designs and forms. Besides the beautiful color, saffron has the characteristic of disinfection. The value of saffron can only be compared to silk. By using saffron on silk, we are certain to have beautiful clothes resistant to any fungi or infection.

Saffron is also used in the wearing industry, and staining carpet woof. In Turkey, like some parts of Iran, special warps and woofs are used for weaving artistic carpets. Saffron is one of the final factors that determine the real value of hand-woven carpets.

Purple, purple reddish and yellow can be produced using saffron. Nice to know that a combination of purple, red and their derivatives colors will create a wonderful scene when they are put next to yellow.
