Hi,
Anybody know of the etiquette for 18th century. When a man is presented to a
lady, and he kisses her hand, does he then actually kis the hand, or does he
just pretend that he is kissing the hand?
I have done both, but not sure wich is correct.

Just opinion and not an expert in the period. If you achieved it with a
period process, one can assume that it probably was available and possibly
worn in that period. In the next century you find pink and pinkish garments
in illuminations.
I would say since it is a good color on you to not dye it
It may be a period color. Check out tapestries and/or carpets from that
time.

I think the plant you are referring to is known as "madder" in English.
I've gotten colors similar to yours in my madder dyeing. It's pretty pH and
