This study investigates the possibility of using purple cabbage and coconut husk as natural dye sources for textile dyeing. In order to liberate the dye components, the coconut husk and purple cabbage were boiled separately in water for a long time during the extraction procedure. Samples of cotton fabric were then dyed using the extracted colors, both with and without the addition of mordants like baking soda, alum, salt, and lemon. The dyeing procedure was tuned for several factors, including dye concentration, pH, and dyeing time. Standard techniques were used to assess the dyed samples for hue and color fastness. The outcomes demonstrated that, when mordants were used, the extracts from coconut husk and purple cabbage produced vivid and long-lasting colors on cotton fabric.
