(The dyeing of hair is an ancient art that involves treatment of the hair with various chemical compounds. It's so old that they haven't even pinpointed the friggin year it was discovered, just that it's ancient which means it was probably discovered before "Elder scrolls: Arena". Skyrim has to take place at least around the 13th century as that's when Plate armor first made it's debut in the real world, we could push it a bit back becasue of magic but not far enough that dye had not been discovered, however with magic, dye would only be invented even earlier.

Dye at this time was not Synthetic, but made from various plants, a herbalist would easily be able to gather the correct plants to dye someone's hair in literally any color.)
