Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Emerald

Emerald oil-soluble food coloring, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Emerald evokes Colombian emeralds and damp forest moss. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for the fatty bases used in baking: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and sugar paste worked with the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for chic, event-style year-end wedding cakes and wedding anniversary layer cakes (55 years, emerald anniversary), it offers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill palette (Australia).

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without changing color or fading. The Emerald shade remains stable after baking, making it the reference choice for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 20 ml soft squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional uses and shade testing, without waste when preparing a small batch.

Emerald: 3 shades depending on the dosage

The shade can be subtly adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity.

Instructions for use

1. Preparing the base: temper the fat-based mixture (white chocolate, ganache, buttercream) to 25–30°C. Above 35°C, some pigments may lose intensity.
2. Initial dosage: shake the bottle for 10 seconds. Add 2 to 4 drops per 250 g of mixture for pastel shades, 6 to 10 drops for bright shades, and 15 to 25 drops for dark shades.
3. Mixing: whisk with a stand mixer or silicone spatula for 30 to 60 seconds to distribute the colour evenly.
4. Resting and stabilisation: leave to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under cling film pressed directly against the surface. The shade develops and reaches its full intensity during resting.
5. Optional adjustment: if the shade is too pale, add 1 to 3 additional drops and remix. Add gradually to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Emerald

Emerald is deeper and more luxurious than Green or Forest—the quintessential jewel-toned green. Combine it with Gold lustre for a jewel effect, highly sought after for Anglo-Saxon weddings. Ideal for emerald anniversaries (55 years of marriage) and sophisticated, adult-themed year-end wedding cakes.
