Our Mission and Philosophy: The Color Re-evolution
We are a community-led movement in Mysore working to replace synthetic chemicals with plant-based, natural dyes for a healthier, more conscious planet.
The switch from synthetic to natural dyeing is not something you can do overnight. It is a transition that we, at Color Ashram, are here to help you make, providing the knowledge, tools, and support you need.
What do we do? We offer a complete ecosystem for natural dyeing, from raw herbs and standardized pastes to hands-on training and brand-building mentorship. Our goal is to make natural dyes accessible to everyone.
Slow fashion is not just a trend; it is a conscious choice for a sustainable future. It is a movement that fuels artistic innovation and encourages a more thoughtful relationship with the clothes we wear.
Why are we good at what we do? With 20 years of experience, a dedicated R&D lab, and a deep commitment to sharing our knowledge, we have made natural dyeing easy, scalable, and ready for today's world.
We believe in the #ArtOfHarmony. Our mission is to nurture the power of individual actions to create collective impact, fostering a sense of community, responsibility, and growth through artistic explorations.
About this collection
Transitioning to natural dyes is not an overnight switch, but a journey we support. Whether you are a hobbyist looking for a safe space to experiment or an entrepreneur building a conscious brand, our Hebbal makerspace provides the standardized pastes, industrial-grade vats, and expert mentorship you need to scale your work without the chemical footprint.
The Color Re-evolution
At Color Ashram, we believe that the fashion industry's reliance on synthetic chemicals is a crisis we can solve together. Our work in Mysore is dedicated to proving that natural dyeing is not only viable but superior for long-term ecological health. We don't just talk about sustainability; we practice it by running an active R&D lab that standardizes plant-based dyes and creates ready-to-use pastes, removing the guesswork for our community.
Why We Exist
We started as a think tank and makerspace because we saw too many creators wanting to switch to eco-friendly methods but feeling lost in the process. We wanted to build a bridge between traditional knowledge and modern requirements. By offering a fully equipped co-working studio in Hebbal, we give you the tools—from block printing tables to dye vats—that are usually inaccessible for independent artists.
Join Our Community
Our space is designed for everyone. You will find homeschoolers, textile entrepreneurs, and travelers sharing chai at our Live & Dye Cafe, exchanging ideas on upcycling and sustainable fashion. If you are ready to move from curiosity to action, our mentorship programs help you develop your own collections, teaching you the technical side of natural dyeing while you learn by doing. We are here to help you turn your passion into a tangible, climate-friendly project.
