#jiang sr’s purple is probably an overdyed blue-red

[greenandhazy]

So it turns out I am now physically incapable of watching any media in a historical-esque setting without obsessively wondering how the characters would have dyed their clothing.

#the untamed is hitting me hard on this front #wwx’s first-life outer garment def looks like dark-dipped indigo #but the wens’ black looks like a true black #are they using iron as a mordant??? #jiang sr’s purple is probably an overdyed blue-red #but where are his kids getting their lovely pastels? #inquiring minds are dying to know. #also HOW are the Lans doing their laundry? #do you have any idea the damage forehead sweat would do to white silk??? #forget the monsters #forget the necromancy #I think the laundry might be the most impressive cultivation in the show
