Colors in Tabriz rug are both in harmony with each other and with customer's taste.

Entrance of chemical dyes to Iran and their production, caused less usage of natural dyes, which is more observed in Tabriz carpet.

Natural dyes, used from old times in Tabriz, are madder (red), cochineal (red and fire red) and weld (yellow).

Combination of yellow and indigo produces grass-green, olive-green colors.

Mouse-gray or black earth, which locally is called "qara torpakh", is taken from the mines of “Mishehbar” in Arasbaran.

There is a great color variety in Tabriz rugs, especially in pictorial rugs.
