The project research eyes all about production of dyes from kola nut using alcohol (ethanol) as the extraction solvent. The kola nut was washed, pounded using a mortal and a pestle. The sample was weighed and then extracted with ethanol over a hot plate of a known temperature for a period of about 30 minutes, until the colour pigment was completely extracted from the kola nut sample. The percentage extraction of dyes stuff from the kola nut was determined to be 45.18 as well as the moisture content of the kola nut sample. Also the dyestuff was tested to be acidic, a pH meter 6.94, the colour obtained from the kola dye was deep orange and when applied on a Fabric it gives a brighter colour (cola pink) and is one of the shades of colour extracted from kola nut. Finally test for dyeing, light, washing was conducted on the fabric dyed.
