Synthetic colorants are those created in a laboratory or industrial setting. The production and improvement of colorants was a driver of the early synthetic chemical industry, in fact many of today's largest chemical producers started as dye-works in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, including Bayer AG (1863).

Mauveine is a mixture of four related aromatic compounds differing in number and placement of methyl groups.Its organic synthesis involves dissolving aniline, p-toluidine, and o-toluidine in sulfuric acid and water in a roughly 1:1:2 ratio, then adding potassium dichromate.
Ponceau (French for "poppy-colored") may refer to: Ponceau 2R (also called Xylidine ponceau or Ponceau G, among other synonyms), azo dye used in histology for staining; Ponceau 3R, delisted food colorant; Ponceau 4R (known by more than 100 synonyms), synthetic colourant used as a food colouring (E Number E124)
Ponceau (17th century French for "poppy-coloured") is the generic name for a family of azo dyes. Ponceau 4R is a strawberry red azo dye which can be used in a variety of food products, and is usually synthesized from aromatic hydrocarbons; it is stable to light, heat, and acid but fades in the presence of ascorbic acid.

The first synthetic dye, mauve, was discovered serendipitously by William Henry Perkin in 1856. [11] [12] [13] The discovery of mauveine started a surge in synthetic dyes and in organic chemistry in general. Other aniline dyes followed, such as fuchsine, safranine, and induline. Many thousands of synthetic dyes have since been prepared. [14 ...
The FDA has banned Red Dye No. 3 dye from food and ingested drug products. Here are the food products containing Red 3 and how the ban affects you. Red Dye 3 Just Got Banned.
The Food and Drug Administration has said it is banning the use of Red No. 3, a synthetic dye that has long been used in the U.S. to color certain foods, such as candies and colored beverages, as ...
Synthetic ultramarine is a more vivid blue than natural ultramarine, since the particles in synthetic ultramarine are smaller and more uniform than the particles in natural ultramarine and therefore diffuse light more evenly. [23] Its color is unaffected by light nor by contact with oil or lime as used in painting.
