"Avoid dark colors. The most harmful dyes are often the darker 
colors. Black wool dye often requires a toxic chromium mordant. 
The most inexpensive dark blue, brown and black cotton dyes 
are usually sulfur dyes, which have corrosive, highly toxic sulfur 
compounds as by-products. Cheap, dark colored cotton is bad."
