Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Green

Oil-soluble food coloring in Green, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Green evokes fresh Granny Smith apples and young spring shoots. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for the fatty bases used in baking: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for children's birthday cupcakes with a jungle or adventure theme and layer cakes with a nature, garden, or jungle theme, it offers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.

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

Green: 3 shades depending on the dosage

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

Instructions for use

3. Mixing: whisk with a stand mixer or silicone spatula for 30 to 60 seconds to distribute the color evenly.
4. Resting and stabilization: let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under plastic wrap 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. Proceed in increments to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Green

Green is more saturated than Mint or Sage; use it for orders requiring a bright, cheerful green (jungle-themed children's birthdays, vibrant nature themes). For nature- and botanical-themed wedding cakes, always choose Sage or Eucalyptus, which are more contemporary and refined.
