Bright, fat-friendly color for your baking

Colour Mill Oil-Based Food Coloring in Red comes in a 100ml bottle and is designed to shine in high-fat bases. Rather than relying on water-based dyes, this formula uses oils to carry and disperse pigment, helping the hue stay vibrant in buttercream, Swiss meringue, chocolate, ganache, fondant, and other fat-rich bases. The result is a rich, even color that can elevate everyday desserts and showpieces alike.

How this oil-based approach helps your bakes

The oil-dispersion method anchors color in fats and oils, which can lead to a smoother, more consistent shade through mixing, chilling, and storage. This makes it especially suitable for layering color in buttercream and fondant, where a glossy finish and uniform tone matter.

  • Rich, vibrant hues that remain vivid in fat-based bases
  • Disperses smoothly in buttercream, Swiss meringue, ganache, fondant, and more
  • Free from Gluten: No wheat or gluten ingredients
  • Halal Certified: Meets Islamic dietary laws
  • Kosher Certified: Meets Jewish dietary laws

Practical use cases

Start with a small amount and build gradually to reach the shade you want. The oil-base works well across multiple recipes, giving you flexibility in your decorating and filling stages.

  • Buttercream with a glossy, true red for layer cakes
  • Swiss meringue that maintains a stable, even tint
  • Chocolate and ganache that showcase a deep red without streaks
  • Fondant and cake batter that balance color with sweetness

Tip: Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle capped when not in use to preserve intensity. Results can vary with different bases, so you may discover new possibilities for your bakes.
