But before you start preparing for the traditional colour splash, have you got all the ingredients to make it a green Holi? <keyword id="2132784" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Holi-colours-industry">Holi colours industry</keyword> was pegged to <keyword id="30450" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Touch">touch</keyword> Rs 4,500 crore in 2012-13, according to an analysis by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (<keyword id="6355988" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Assocham">Assocham</keyword>), and the numbers are sure to go up this year. Interestingly, the <keyword id="47445" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-market">Indian market</keyword> has also witnessed a growing demand for hazard-free herbal colours. The market for <keyword id="2132783" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Herbal-dyes">herbal dyes</keyword> is estimated to be growing at 30-40% annually although the products are a bit expensive. 
 While a chemical-free colour plunge is the most desirable and eco-friendly way of celebrating Holi, you must walk through the market once to find out what’s in store. Broadly speaking, you will find three types of <keyword id="586078" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="chemical-colours">chemical colours</keyword> here – powders, pastes and wets or liquid ones. Most of these are chemical/synthetic dyes, containing substances such as <keyword id="2132786" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Oxides">oxides</keyword>, <keyword id="6395221" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="heavy-metals">heavy metals</keyword> (lead, chromium, nickel and cadmium), <keyword id="1322867" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="acids">acids</keyword>, <keyword id="2132787" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alkalis">alkalis</keyword>, <keyword id="2132789" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Powdered-glass">powdered glass</keyword> and <keyword id="2132788" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mica-dust">mica dust</keyword> – all supremely harmful for your skin, hair and eyes. 
 The powders mostly have <keyword id="2132790" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Toxic-colorants">toxic colorants</keyword> and an asbestos/silica base; the pastes have a mix of toxic compounds and inferior quality oils and water colours include strong alkalis. No wonder we get itches, rashes, redness and swelling after a thorough colour soak, a colour-filled balloon attack or a terrific <keyword id="2132798" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pitchkari">pitchkari</keyword> fight. Also, darker shades like red, blue and green have high levels of chemicals, metal oxides and industrial dyes, which are used to provide thick texture. Shiny colours can also contain powdered glass. 
 
10 chemical colours that can harm you 
If you revel in rainbow hues and mostly buy synthetic colours, here’s a harm list for your ready reference. 
 
1. Abeer/Gulal: Popularly believed to be the least harmful of all chemical colours, this one contains a whole lot of mica dust that can cause <keyword id="100486" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Skin-irritation">skin irritation</keyword> and other infections.

2. Red &amp; pink: These colours have mercuric oxide and rhodamine B; both can cause <keyword id="1654686" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="eye-irritation">eye irritation</keyword>, <keyword id="28956" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="skin-cancer">skin cancer</keyword> and more.

6. Orange: Contains chromium Iodide, which is toxic to blood and liver. 
 
7. Violet: Has methyl violet; this can be carcinogenic and may cause severe eye irritation. 
 
8. Purple: Contains chromium iodide; this can also be carcinogenic and may cause <keyword id="6465125" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="asthma">asthma</keyword> or allergy. 
 
9. Silver: One of the components is aluminum bromide and it is also known to be carcinogenic. 
 
10. Black: Contains lead oxide, which may cause renal failure and learning disabilities in the long run. 
 
 
 
Go ‘natural’ to stay safe You can either buy herbal dyes or use home-made colours, which are clinically safe and totally <keyword id="6356826" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="environment">environment</keyword> friendly. The herbal variant is now easily available in the market and uses components such as flour, henna or arrowroot powder as base, and vegetable dyes to add colour. But before buying them, make sure they are non-carcinogenic, lead-free and lab-tested for safety. 
 You can also prepare <keyword id="583108" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Holi-colours">Holi colours</keyword> at home as you get some excellent colorants from certain flowers and plants. All you need to do is dry and powder them or soak/boil them in water. Add a little scented oil and eco-friendly Holi colours will be ready for use. Take a look at the 8 exotic colours you can prepare at home. 
 
1. <keyword id="2132779" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ruby-Red">Ruby Red</keyword>: Prepare red sandalwood powder/paste or mix it in plenty of water and boil for <keyword id="2132794" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Liquid-colour">liquid colour</keyword>. You can also crush dry red hibiscus flowers and boil it in water. Peels of red <keyword id="92372" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Pomegranates">pomegranates</keyword> or twigs of madar tree produce a vibrant red when boiled in water. Otherwise, put carrot or tomato juice in plenty of water to take the stickiness out and use it. 
 
2. <keyword id="2132806" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Turmeric-yellow">Turmeric Yellow</keyword>: This one is the easiest to make. Mix turmeric or haldi powder with double the amount of besan to prepare a vivid yellow powder. Flowers like marigold and yellow chrysanthemums can also be dried and crushed to obtain different shades of yellow. To produce liquid colours, mix any of these powders in plenty of water and boil it. 
 
3. Profound Pink/Magnificent Magenta: Soak sliced beetroot in lots of water for 12 hours or so before using the liquid. 
 
4. Sunny Orange: Put tesu or palash flowers (flame of the forest) in water and soak overnight. Or boil them in water for a vibrant yellow-orange shade. 
 
5. Emerald Green: Dried and powdered henna leaves will work best. For wet colour, soak the henna leaves overnight or prepare a paste of spinach/coriander/mint, and mix it in water. 
 
6. Turquoise Blue: Jacaranda and blue hibiscus flowers can be dried, powdered and used. 
 
7. Dark Brown: Boil tea leaves or coffee powder. Let it cool before using. 
 
8. Charcoal Black: Boil dried amla in an iron vessel and leave it overnight. Mix with water and use. 
 
3 tips for a ‘safe’ Holi 
1. Say ‘no’ to colours: Especially pastes and liquid colours, as these tend to stain the skin deeper and last longer. Avoid colours altogether if you are suffering from asthma, eye or <keyword id="624291" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Skin-infections">skin infections</keyword>, or any other chronic disease. 
 
2. Cover yourself well: The more you do that, the less exposed you will be to harmful chemicals. Wear full-sleeve dresses and don a pair of sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes. Apply baby oil, cream or waterproof <keyword id="74032" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sunscreen">sunscreen</keyword> lotion on your skin – so that the stains will get off easily. 
 
3. See your doctor: Don’t neglect post-Holi syndromes like skin or eye irritation. A mild anti-allergic and soothing skin lotion should be able to fix it, but severe allergy, <keyword id="2132809" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chemical-burn">chemical burn</keyword> or <keyword id="2132810" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Retinal-damage">retinal damage</keyword> cannot be ruled out either. See your doctor as soon as you can and start proper treatment.

Headwinds such as slowing demand, rising competition, shifting demographic-driven preferences and the rising carbon footprint of fast fashion, were already hanging over the sector’s head. The fallout of COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to look like the biggest economic shock in over half a century, the 2008 financial crisis included. While many industries have already been hard hit, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/new-york-fashion-week-how-retailers-are-grappling-with-sustainability.html">the $2.5 trillion fashion industry</a> seems vulnerable to a long drawn out recovery, due to the discretionary nature of consumer spending on clothes. Meanwhile, deep discounting stock clearance, supply chain interruptions and even bankruptcies, are the themes playing out in the short to medium term. The reshaping of the prevailing environment and business landscape will also present an existential opportunity for the industry to reinvent itself. Innovation and digital acceleration will be at the middle of all future-proofing initiatives, tying to already accelerate consumer trends like personalisation and customer experience. A low contact economy is presently emerging from the ashes of the pandemic, but retailers will now experience first-hand, the need for a digital-first mentality to even stay afloat. If digital technologies like <keyword id="107950" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</keyword> (AI) had its way, the much-dreaded practise of discounting in fashion and retail, could vanish overnight. Trained algorithms would pre-empt such situations by informing retailers on which products to procure, in what quantity, whom to sell them to, and when – at full price. Empowered by AI insights, designers, merchandisers and buyers could soon predict customer preferences, way before they become fashionable. Online shopping could become a seamless experience in engagement, where the shopper describes the dress of their dreams, and an AI-powered search engine responds by tracking it down. In short supply – fashion intelligence While demand side use cases are the glamorous poster children for AI in fashion, the behind the scenes reimagining of the supply side, is where the tech journey begins. Currently, fashion retailers work with limited data to predict what products to make, in what quantity and when to discount them for clearance. Data brought together from disparate sources can help brands to align supply with demand - trends recognition on social media, including colours and silhouettes, identification of keywords from text searches, voice assistants and chatbots, and the browsing and shopping history of customers. AI’s ability to make predictions on trends even before they happen, is the holy grail in a trend-driven industry like fashion. Skip to production. Robotic automation of manufacturing, leveraging computer vision, industrial robotics and machine learning, boosts production speed several fold. It also eliminates human production related issues like error, fatigue, safety and hazard constraints, cycle time bottlenecks and labour costs. The next stop in the supply side journey is pricing decisions. Big data insights and AI-enabled real-time pricing as well as predictive pricing, compare exact and similar product matches across the competition. Market-based demand assortment helps in stocking products which sell more, thus contributing more to margins. Finally, AI-based algorithms consider factors such as consumer behaviour, seasonality, likely demand, and expected discounts to formulate optimal prices. Accurate demand forecasting can make the difference between excess stock that locks up capital, consumes warehouse space, and is eventually sold at markdowns, missed sales due to understocking, or hitting bulls eye. Machine learning solutions greatly reduce forecasting errors. AI-based management systems recommend optimal stock levels for thousands of SKUs at distribution centres, while automated sensors and robots issue repurchase orders when inventory drops, to restock in-demand products. A good example is Hitachi using AI to issue instructions to warehouse employees to continuously improve on the operations of supply chain to respond quickly to the market condition. Consumer satisfaction, on demand If the supply side is all about operational efficiencies and number crunching, the demand side unleashes the sexy in AI. AI-powered visual search engines empower image search, or even with patterns and shades, returning with the closest matches from catalogues. When integrated with mobile phone apps, search can be activated via phone cameras too. AI can analyse the browsing and shopping history of customers, to understand and make intelligent recommendations when they visit physical stores. Virtual personal stylists help customers choose the right styles and fits that best suit one’s body structure. Virtual trial rooms are the latest addition to fashion retail from the AI armoury. They simulate the trial room experience on a large screen, using computer vision-enabled cameras that project the shopper’s shape and size as a virtual mannequin. The shopper can see how the clothes fit, with additional recommendations that include matching accessories to complement a look. As part of Walmart’s Innov8 VR competition, Obsess created a photorealistic CG virtual store for Rebecca Minkoff. The experience included the ability to shop racks or runway using a headset and complete the checkout process in VR. Virtual assistants and chatbots behave as shopping assistants, making personalized recommendations via chat. Apart from responding directly to queries, suggesting products and assisting with right fits, chatbots route customers to sales representatives and fashion designers, when human intervention is required. Self-learning algorithms improve the relevance of recommendations. These assistants also suggest similar items to the product that is being examined, helping prevent exits from out of stock situations or when expectations aren’t met. Retailers lose about <a href="https://www.flixstock.com/hidden-cost-of-online-shopping/">$642.6 billion</a> in preventable returns annually, while also losing customers in the process. AI can help retailers personalize shopping experience, leading shoppers to make informed purchase decisions based on previous purchases, sizes and returns. For instance, Zara has evolved its size chart and suggests sizes not only based on customer inputs but also by tracking their preferences (example: loose or tighter clothing) and the return of that garment by other users with same tastes and measurements. Marketing is where the magic of customer engagement and leading them on a journey unfolds. Brands and retailers can leverage AI-powered engines to automatically trigger email campaigns and notifications with curated collection of products. AI-powered automation software enables marketing teams to produce rich, personalized campaigns targeting individual customers with promotions, informed by preferences and purchase history, consequently boosting loyalty. Integrating targeted marketing with customer’s social media profiles, gives further insights into preferences, behaviour and influences. AI has the potential to completely transform the fashion industry. From augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) powered dressing rooms, to delivery by AI powered drones, an industry ripe for disruption may just be pushed into embracing long-overdue technology by the coronavirus-induced market shock.
