Pomegranate rind پوست انار
Pomegranate rind (پوست انار), the dried peel of Punica granatum, is a yellow dye source in Iran. Isfahan dye masters today use it as a secondary dye with isparak, to shade yellows towards darker yellows, oranges and browns. "Pomegranate red" in a rug description is a colour name only: the dye from the rind is not red.
