In India, in ancient times people naturally celebrated the festival of colors with the very basic things of nature. With Turmeric that turns yellow, sandalwood that seems orange, kumkum comes as red, Indigo indicates blue, beetroot that beats magenta, charcoal that supplies black and so on. Now the millennial modern society welcomes much harmony of canvas and so prefers synthetic colors even though they know that they aren't safe. Synthetic colors cause skin problems, they might damage the eyes, if the eyes aren't washed properly after the color enters into them. They can't be washed away easily due to the chemical dyes used in those colors. If you are not satisfied enough with the natural colors, try organic colors which cause no harm.
