A synthetic azo dye that produces a yellow or golden color, historically used in textiles and research.
From 'azo-' (azo compounds) + 'flavine' (from Latin flavus, yellow). Developed in the late 1800s as chemists systematically created new synthetic dyes and named them for their colors.
Azoflavine represents the golden age of synthetic dye chemistry—chemists literally named compounds after their colors (flavine = yellow), creating a rainbow of synthetic dyes that transformed textiles and art.
