Y 3 is ═O or ═N—CN, and

R 1 and R 2 are H,

b) 0.4 to 0.9 mol of 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol or N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine per mole of the dye of the formula (1) and

c) 0.8 to 2.5 mol of at least one trialkanolamine per mole of the dye of the formula (1).

2. A concentrated storage-stable aqueous dye solution according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trialkanolamine comrwises a C 2 to C 4 alkanol radical.
