You can also find a dye through other sources in the game. Here is a quick rundown:

Wandering Trader

Wandering Traders have a chance to sell several dyes for emeralds. You can usually find them roaming in the wild or visiting villages. However, their stock is random, so they are not a reliable source of dye.

Chest Loot

You can sometimes find dyes in chests within randomly generated structures in Minecraft. However, these structures can be difficult to explore due to hostile mobs, making other methods a more efficient way to obtain dyes in Minecraft.
