- Category:Diarylmethane dyes, based on diphenyl methane
- Category:Triarylmethane dyes, derivates of triphenyl methane
- Category:Azo dyes, based on -N=N- azo structure
- Diazonium dyes, based on diazonium salts
- Nitro dyes, based on a -NO2 nitro functional group
- Nitroso dyes, based on a -N=O nitroso functional group
- Phthalocyanine dyes, derivatives of phthalocyanine
- Quinone-imine dyes, derivativees of quinone
- Category:Azin dyes
- Category:Eurhodin dyes
- Category:Safranin dyes, derivates of safranin

Famous quotes containing the word chemical:
“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat. Of all possible theories, this is likely to prove the most fatal to Professors of History.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
