Direct dyes are water-soluble, anionic dyes applied directly to cellulosic fibers—especially cotton, viscose/rayon, paper, and linen—usually with salt to help the dye absorb.
They are simple and economical to use, producing a wide range of shades without requiring a mordant. Their main limitation is generally moderate wash fastness; they may bleed or fade unless after-treated.
