    I both love and hate HC Blue No 15 (Jarocol Blue 15 / Arianor Jade Blue)

    I love it because it creates a striking and quite beautiful colour not achievable with most other safe / legal / effective / widely available blue dyes

    I hate it because it stains everything it touches with a vengeance, and it’s particularly difficult to shift

    Aha. Bill, I know nothing about these dye technologies. Is there a range of such colours then, that can be used in a single application?
