Indigo Blue: A Heritage Dye with Modern Applications

Indigo blue dye, a naturally derived or synthetically produced organic compound, is one of the most iconic and widely used coloring agents worldwide. With the chemical formula C16H10N2O2, indigo is primarily used to produce the deep blue color in denim and textiles. Its popularity has grown due to its vibrant shade, wash-fast properties, and versatility across multiple industries.

  • Extensive usage in textiles and apparel, especially denim production

  • Growing applications in printing inks, paints, and cosmetic formulations
