The ultimate aim of this study was to determine the effectivity and color of dye can produced from Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond) leaves when it is fresh (green), Pinkish-reddish and sunbaked. This study was a quantitative-experimental research design. It utilized a three-group design using three (3) treatments to be applied in four setups.  Specifically, this study tried to look answers for the following questions: What is the acceptable level in terms of odor, color and texture of the dye produced from different colors of Talisay leaves such as green (treatment-1), pinkish-reddish (treatment-2), and sunbaked /brown (treatment-3)? What is the level of effectivity of the dye made from Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond) leaves when applied to different types of fabric such as Chinese cotton, polyester, oxford, and satin? Is there a significant difference on the acceptable level in terms of odor, color and texture of the dye produced from different colors of Talisay leaves? Is there a significant difference on the level of effectivity of the dye made from Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond) leaves in terms of the type of fabric use?

The study revealed that the acceptability of the physical characteristics of fabric dye made  from Talisay leaves in terms of odor, the treatment-3 obtained the highest mean of 3.23, means “acceptable”. In terms of color, the treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 4.13, means “highly acceptable”. In terms of texture, the treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 3.77, means “highly acceptable”.

On the effectivity of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves when applied to Chinese cotton,  treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 3.77, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”. When applied to Oxford cloth, treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 3.67, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”. When applied to Polyester cloth, treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 3.60, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”. Then, when applied to Polyester cloth, treatment-1 obtained the highest mean of 4.30, which can be interpreted as “very highly acceptable”.

On the overall acceptability of the physical characteristics of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves, treatment-2 obtained the highest overall mean of 3.59, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”. On the overall effectivity of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves when applied to different types of fabric, treatment-2 obtained the highest overall mean of 3.65, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”.

The hypothesis tested on odor, color and texture was accepted as confirmed by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). It was also confirmed by the ANOVA that there is no significant difference on the effectivity of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves when applied to Chinese cotton Oxford, Polyester and Satin. Hence, the hypothesis tested on different types of fabric was also accepted.

            The researchers concluded that Terminalia catappa (Talisay /Tropical Almond) leaves could be a good source of fabric dye. Hence, the pinkish-reddish leaves yield the best results in terms of color and effectivity when applied to different types of fabric.
