Abstract
This research investigated 1) a dyeing method for reeds, and 2) types of color plants found in Khao Phluang Forest, Chai Badan District, Lopburi Province, and mordants affecting shade (CIEL*a*b*) and color fastness. The tool for color measurement was a Chroma meter: Konica Minolta CR – 400. The measurements of color were performed after airing; then the dyed reed was washed with distilled water. Next, it was aerated for seven days before the remeasurements of the color values.
The reed dyeing process involved soaking the reed in warm water for an hour, followed by soaking it in a mixture of alum, sodium bicarbonate, and lukewarm water for 30 minutes. After aeration, the reed was boiled in the dyeing water for 20 minutes. Color measurements revealed that reeds dyed with turmeric and neem barks, and neem leaves resulted in shades of yellow, red, and brown, respectively. The reed dyed with turmeric, using tamarind juice as the mordant, exhibited the strongest color (CIEL*a*b* = 48.68, 15.01, 41.56). Meanwhile, reeds dyed with neem barks appeared in a shade of red. The use of neem leaves as the dyeing plant did not yield any significant difference from the undyed reed at a significance level of .05.
