From prehistorical cave paintings to today, humans have always used colour to brighten up their lives by dyeing cloth, adding colour to objects or creating works of art such as the illuminations made by Cistercian Monks in the abbeys.
Several dyeing methods exist, one is the use of tinctorial plants.
