We just need to reintruduce the use of natural dyes like in the old days.
Finally, water extract of macerated Syrian rue seed (Peganum harmala) mordanted to wool with aluminium hydroxide is brilliant Syrian Red/Turkish Red in "Persian" carpets. The color-developing chemicals are powerfully hallucinogenic harmine alkaloids. Snuggle your desert sweating body upon a bright red Persian carpet and pretty soon you fly. We have thus discovered why God so vigorously infests the Middle East, and why He disappeared after synthetic dyes appeared.
