1:2 Chromium complex dyes which contain one molecule of an azo or azomethine compound of the formula ##STR1## and one molecule of the azomethine compound of the formula ##STR2## COMPLEXED TO A CHROMIUM ATOM, IN WHICH FORMULAE A represents the radical of a diazo component of the benzene or naphthalene series, which carries the complex-forming group XH in ortho-position to the azo group,B represents the radical of a coupling component which couples in ortho-position to HX' or the radical of an aromatic o-hydroxyaldehyde,Z represents a nitrogen atom or the -CH group,X represents an oxygen atom or a -CO-O group,X' represents an oxygen atom, a NH group, a low molecular N-alkyl, N-aralkyl or N-aryl group, andR represents a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical,And the benzene ring a can carry a further fused benzene ring or can be substituted by halogen, nitro, alkyl and alkoxy, in particular by low molecular alkyl and alkoxy, and these compounds contain together 0 to 5 water-solubilizing groups and optionally a group of the formula--N.dbd.N--Ar--N.dbd.N--Ar' (3)and/or one to two groups of the formula--N.dbd.N--Ar" (4)wherein Ar, Ar' and Ar" represent an aromatic, carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical. These dyes are primarily suitable for dyeing natural and synthetic polyamide material.
