A stable, liquid aqueous composition of fiber-reactive dye consisting essentially of 5 to 45% by weight of 1, 2, 3, or 4 dyestuffs which in the free acid form have the formula
- (HO.sub.3 S).sub.m -F-Z.sub.n
- in which F is the chromophoric radical of a monoazo dyestuff, Z is a fiber-reactive group selected from the group consisting of vinyl sulfonyl, .beta.-chloroethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-acetoxyethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-(3-sulfobenzoyloxy)-ethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-sulfatoethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-thiosulfatoethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-phosphatoethyl-sulfonyl, .beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl-methylamino and vinylsulfonyl-methylamino, m is an integer of from 1 to 8 and n is an integer of from 1 to 3, water and 1, 2, 3, or 4 buffer substances selected from the group consisting of sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium oxalate, potassium oxalate, an acid sodium salt of phosphoric acid, and acid potassium salt of phosphoric acid, a mixture of the sodium or potassium salts of phosphoric acid and sodium borate, said composition having a pH-value of from 3 to 7 and being characterized by said dyestuff having been prepared in an aqueous, aqueous organic or organic medium by reacting a stoichiometric amount of an aromatic amine and of a coupling component, the amine or the coupling component or both having a free acid sulfo group, with a stoichiometric amount of an alkali metal nitrite and without addition of an acid.
