III. Results
Purple dye has high pigmentation. Dye transfers to materials in a brighter hue than what it looks like on its own. The smell is still very strong of cabbage and does transfer onto dyed materials. Dye does not keep on the counter, but will stay good in the fridge for around 3-4 weeks. If there is mold on the top, or the smell seems off, it is time to throw it out.
