When ready for use, the dried roots were ground. By this aging process, various shades were obtained, from a greyed yellow to a dull red.

If the mixture was boiled in an iron vessel, the reaction formed a red brown or mahogany dye. When mixed with indigo, a green dye was produced. | Elmore, Francis H., 1944, Ethnobotany of the Navajo, Sante Fe, NM. School of American Research, page 43 |
