===Dye===
Berries have been used in some cultures for [[dyeing]]. Many berries contain juices that can easily stain, affording use as a natural dye. For example, blackberries are useful for making dyes, especially when ripe berries can easily release juice to produce a [[colorfast]] effect.{{zwj}}<ref name="brambleberriesintherain">{{cite web | url=http://brambleberriesintherain.com/2011/09/dyeing-with-blackberries/ | title=Dyeing with blackberries | date=15 September 2011 | access-date=12 August 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150803121035/http://brambleberriesintherain.com/2011/09/dyeing-with-blackberries/ | archive-date=3 August 2015 | df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Culturally and Economically Important Nontimber Forest Products of Northern Maine: Blueberry|url=http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/sustaining_forests/conserve_enhance/special_products/maine_ntfp/plants/blueberry/|website=[[US Forest Service]]|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-date=21 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151121033759/http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/sustaining_forests/conserve_enhance/special_products/maine_ntfp/plants/blueberry/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=FSDyeBerry>{{cite web|title=Native Plant Dyes|url=http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/ethnobotany/dyes.shtml|website=US Forest Service|access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref> ''Rubus'' berries, such as blackberry, raspberry, [[black raspberry]], [[dewberry]], [[loganberry]], and [[thimbleberry]] all produce dye colors.
