Abstract: Part of the coffee plant as a whole from the roots until the fruit can produce dye pigment, the coffee plant that is
made sample is Robusta coffee plant (Coffee Robusta). The absence of natural color calcification uses one whole plant. So it is
made from coffee plants typical of Lampung as a local identity. The mordanting process of the extract results in the parts of
the coffee plant on the French cotton fabric, producing pigments that can be used as dyes for textiles. This method is easy to
classify the pigment from the parts of the coffee plant. Classifications of colors obtained from warm, soft, and cold color
ranges (casual, beautiful, Natural, beautiful, romantic, elegant, classic, clear and cool casual). This research was conducted to
classify various colors of Robusta coffee plants, roots, wood, bark, ranting, wet leaves, dried leaves, wet skin, wet bark, dry
hard skin, wet seeds, dried seeds, and grain powders with The mordanting process is transferred on the cloth. From the results
of the experiment, excellent color absorption resulted from wet fruit skin with a tendency towards warm colors and applied to
the mask as an example of the product by means of a brush so that not much wasted color content. way in brushes and
applications on this mask is an effort to respond to environmental issues and new normal.

Introduction
As one of the countries that have a wealth of natural
resources that are quite abundant, Indonesia's liquid
country is very potential in the provision of raw
materials sourced from nature. But in reality, the
natural resources that have not been done with the
maximum despite the traditional management is
carried out by the former ancestors.
Natural dyes extracted from the extract are the types of
flora, fauna, and even minerals and metals.
Geographically also affects the extract results of natural
ingredients. Indonesia's natural resources have the
potential to enrich natural color collection. The natural
color of the plateau teak leaves is not always the same
as the lowland. Natural color mapping of each natural
resource is an effective step to enrich the natural color
collection of Indonesia. This color map is not only used
for textile, but also food, and branding colors.
Lampung is one of Robusta coffee producers that is
quite famous for its quality. Coffee in general as a drink,
then developed as a face mask, body scrub, aroma
therapy and there are also textile motifs of the visual
form of the coffee plant. Textiles are not far from fibers
and colors and also there is also no full color mapping
of one whole plant. Likewise from the visual realm
because the exotic color of coffee has not been
mapped as the typical color of Robusta coffee in
Lampung with the character that has as a natural dye
and non food.
Coffee is one of the lush Flora of Lampung. Robusta
Coffee (Coffea Canephora) has various parts of the root
of the waste resulting from the process of coffee. One
of the coffee bean processing waste is coffee shell. The
coffee fruit has two of the skins, the skin of the fruit
and shells [1] If viewed from the morphology of coffee
plants that have roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit [2].
Natural colors are used and are commonly known only
small portions. Many papers circulate but only discuss
one or two of a particular plant. Such as the dye of the
jackfruit wood extract by [3], the root of Mengkudu by
[4], the Betel nut seed extract by [5], extraction of
flower petal Rosella by [6], Natural colors of Ketapang
