The dye is frequently utilized to produce vivid colours that are light and washable.

These are aniline dyes that are often accessible in synthetic form and function as bases. This can be done by converting the base into salt as their colour base is insoluble in water. Basic dyes are the best option for colouring synthetic, cationic materials like acrylics.

Basic Dyes are mostly used for colouring paper products, hair, acrylic plastics, paints, coatings, stains, and industrial products.
