Which outcome followed depletion of natron deposits, essential for fixing colours in Byzantine silk textile dying, in 8th century Egypt?

💡 Explanation

Dye quality declined; because the chemical mordant (fixative) weakened, causing uneven absorption; therefore colour intensity decreased, rather than decreased production as dyers experimented via trial-error with alternative (less effective) alkaline fixing agents.
