Pebble shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based mixtures
Colour Mill Pebble evokes a river-polished pebble and a neutral beige-grey.

Frequently asked questions
Does this colouring work in melted chocolate?
Yes, that is its primary use: it is formulated for fat-based mixtures (white chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter) and disperses without lumps in a tempered melted mixture.
What dosage is needed for a highly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you achieve the desired shade, allowing the mixture to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap features a dropper opening: a gentle squeeze dispenses one precise drop.
