Typical colors for Easter include colors - 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.

Easter egg coloring can be done using natural substances:

• yellow color - saffron (stigmas), oat straw, tea, lime flower. A caroller who brought home a full basket of yellow eggs had no reason to fear the future. However, he had to be careful with his sharp tongue.
• yellow-green color - nettles (roots)
• yellow-brown color - infusion from onion skins, tea
• green - Green eggs in the basket promised good health and plenty of work. Such a bachelor would take a hardworking and wise girl for a wife, who would turn each groschen twice before spending it.
• dark green color - infusion from spinach, young nettles, parsley
• light green color - lime flower, cumin, or saffron
• red color - juice from red beet. A caroller who brought home the most red eggs was promised wealth, happiness, and health in the future. It could also predict that the boy would soon marry and receive a hardworking, smart, and kind wife with a large dowry.
• black color - alder bark, willow (roots)
• purple color - elderberry (dried fruits)
• white color - If the bachelor had most of his eggs white as fallen snow, a marriage of pure love awaited him, 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 like yarrow, clover, dandelion, place it in a nylon stocking or cloth and wrap it. Tighten firmly at both ends and immerse it in dye or infusion. After cooking, unwrap the egg and remove the leaves. Polish the egg with lard for shine.
