Astrid dyed bones brown with walnut shells (Juglans regia), dark red with roots of rose madder (Rubia tinctorum), orange with onion skin (Allium cepa) and turquoise with copper rust.

Striebel (2003) published a paper about early modern recipes. There is quite an amount of information about bone dying in Andés (1925) and possibly in Schmidt (1891).
