Colour Index

Fourth Edition Online

...the definitive guide for anyone who needs to know details of which companies manufacture and distribute dyes and pigments, or for anyone looking for technical details of these products.

First published in 1925, now published on the web by the Society of Dyers and Colourists and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, it is the only authoritative international reference work on these colorants: their nomenclature, constitution, main applications and suppliers.

Colorants are listed according to the widely acclaimed system of Colour Index Generic Names and Colour Index Constitution Numbers. A detailed record of products available on the market is presented under each Colour Index reference. Against each product name is listed the manufacturer, physical form, principal usages and comments supplied by the manufacturer to guide prospective customers.

Please note that the Colour Index integration over to our new website is currently in process, however you can still access these features through the normal means by clciking here.
