History

Which consequence results when Byzantine silk dyeing uses improperly cured madder?

A)Increased fabric tensile strength
B)Reduced lightfastness of the dye
C)Prevention of Tyrian purple creation
D)Improved resistance to microbial degradation

💡 Explanation

Reduced lightfastness results because improper curing creates alizarin complexes prone to oxidation. This light-sensitivity weakens pigment bonds, therefore the dye fades quickly, rather than imparting strength or resisting biological attack.
