Natural colors are made using natural elements, such as plants, flowers etc. Dried colors may be used for playing holi (colorful festival of India). Such color can easily be made at home, with a minimum number of apparatus. You just need some fresh flowers from market, separate the petals from other things, give them a proper wash, sun dry them. Use a home mixer/grinder to turn dried petals into powder form. It doesn’t affect skin, can be removed easily from body and retains the natural scent of the flower.
