Printing on papers of various colours follow the Islamic tradition of colourful supports, which was already used for manuscript on parchment. Later paper was coloured with natural dyes, such as saffron, turmeric, safflower, lac, sappan-wood, henna, pomegranate bark, indigo and sunflower-croton and with minerals, such as verdigris, orpiment, ceruse and blue vitriol (Blair 2000, p. 25).
