The typical colors of Easter are yellow, green, red, reddish-brown, brown, and black. All these colors can be obtained from natural sources. At the end of the 19th century, they were replaced by chemical sources.

Dyeing eggs can be done using natural materials:

• yellow color - saffron (stigmas), oat straw, tea, linden flower. An egg bearer who brought home a full basket of yellow eggs had nothing to fear for the future. He had to pay close attention to his sharp tongue.
• yellow-green color - nettles (roots)
• yellow-brown color - from onion skins, tea
• green - Green eggs in a basket promised good health and a lot of work. Such a young man would receive a diligent and sensible girl as his wife, who would turn every penny twice in her hands before spending it.
• dark green color - from spinach, young nettles, parsley
• light green color - linden flower, caraway, or saffron
• red color - from beet juice. An egg bearer who brought home the most red eggs was promised wealth, happiness, and health in the future. It could also indicate that the boy would soon marry and receive a hard-working, smart, and kind wife with a large dowry.
• black color - alder bark, willow (roots)
• purple color - elderberry (dried fruits)
• white color - If the young man had most of the eggs as white as fallen snow, he was waiting for a marriage of pure love, but with a girl as poor as a church mouse.
• blue color - cornflower, blueberry fruits
• herb-wrapped egg - wrap a white egg with small leaves of yarrow, clover, dandelion, place it in a nylon stocking or cloth and wrap it up tightly. Pull firmly at both ends and dip it in dye or decoction. After boiling, unwrap the egg and remove the leaves. Polish the egg with lard for shine.
