Tracing dyes, different colours, dye trace testing, flourescent Tracing dyes come in a wide variety of colours. Depending on your use, environment, or situation you may need a particular colour (or colours) so that it contrasts with your environment. For example, you may need a fluorescent dye so that it is easily visible in dark areas. You can even use multiple colours to test multiple pipelines at once.
