Who we are
Making Textile Chemistry and Color Science Easier to Explore
A digital knowledge and tools platform focused on textile coloration, dyeing processes, pigments and practical color science.
AcidRed is an online platform dedicated to textile dyeing, pigment knowledge, fabric chemistry, color science and textile production calculations.
Color is more than appearance. It involves chemistry, material properties, light, measurement and carefully controlled processing conditions. Our goal is to make these subjects easier to understand and more practical to explore.
We are developing a collection of browser-based tools and educational resources covering dye quantities, textile calculations, color conversions, pigment properties, fabric compatibility and production processes.
Whether you are a textile student, designer, laboratory technician, manufacturer or simply interested in pigments and colors, AcidRed aims to provide useful information in one accessible place.

Our approach
Practical Information with Technical Context
Textile dyeing and pigment applications involve material-specific chemistry. We aim to make our resources useful while explaining the assumptions behind calculations and technical references.
- Clear explanations of textile and color concepts.
- Practical calculators for common production quantities.
- Reference information about dyes, pigments and fibers.
- Accessible resources for different experience levels.
- Transparent calculation methods and assumptions.
- Attention to material compatibility and process conditions.
- Educational information about textile testing.
- Continued development of useful digital resources.
Calculators and educational references are intended to support learning and preliminary estimates. Actual industrial dyeing results depend on the materials, dyes, chemicals, equipment and validated process conditions. Always follow supplier technical data sheets, safety data sheets and applicable testing standards.
