Abstract: The invention is to provide a composition made by blending a benzodifuranone compound of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a methylene or straight or branched C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene group optionally substituted with a hydroxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylcarbonyloxy group; and Q represents 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring residue, with an anthraquinone compound of the formula (II): ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2 represents an optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxyphenylsulfonyl group, and a method for dyeing hydrophobic materials using the composition to obtain red dyed products with excellent pH dependency and fastnesses to light and washing.

Abstract: A reactive dye composition which contains a dye mixture comprising; at least one reactive dye selected from dyes represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## in which Q is --SO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Z in which Z is a group splittable by the action of alkali or --SO.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, and M.sup.1 is hydrogen, an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and at least one anthraquinone compound usable as an acid dye; and a process for dyeing or printing a fiber material using the reactive dye composition.

Abstract: A composition containing benzodifuranone compounds for coloring hydrophobic materials in red which comprises at least one compound selected from the group of benzodifuranone compounds represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a methylene group, a hydroxide group or a straight chain or branched C.sub.2-6 alkylene group which may be substituted by a C.sub.1-4 alkoxy or C.sub.1-4 alkylcarbonyloxy group, Q represents a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring residue which may be substituted; and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of benzeneazo compounds and/or benzothiazolazo compounds.

Abstract: A composition for dyeing hydrophobic materials, such as polyester fiber materials, with a clear and sharp color fastness contains at least one benzodifuranone compound represented by a formulae (I) and at least one benzodifuranone compound represented by a formula (II), wherein the weight ratio of the at least one benzodifuranone compound represented by formula (I) to the at least one benzodifuranone compound represented by formula (II) is 90:10 to 10:90.
