What Color is Denim?

Denim is a blue fabric. The color of denim is typically a deep, indigo blue. This color is achieved through a dyeing process that uses indigo dye (indigofera tinctoria plant), which gives denim its distinctive blue color.

Denim can also be dyed black, grey, white, yellow, pink, red and many other colors. Some denim garments also have a faded or distressed look, giving the fabric a lighter or more worn-in appearance.
