Naturally coloured cotton

Abstract

In recent years, coloured cotton is receiving increasing importance in view of their eco-friendly character. The urge for eco-friendly cotton can only be fulfilled preferably by organically grown coloured cotton, dispensing harmful chemicals in dying and processing. Coloured cotton is not a product of any recent genetic engineering or biotechnology. Several lint colours (brown, black, mahogany red, red, khaki, pink, blue, green, dirty white of course and white) are found in the four species of the genus Gossypium.
