Oil-based colouring for chocolate, ganache and high-fat mixtures.
Colour Mill Taupe is a concentrated oil-based food colouring, packaged in a 20 ml dropper bottle. Its oil-based formula blends directly into chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache and high-fat creams without causing the mixture to seize. The Taupe shade gives a very neutral grey-brown, cooler than Nude and Latte.

Features
Taupe shade: a very neutral grayish brown, cooler than Nude and Latte.
Suitable for couverture chocolate, ganaches, cocoa butter and buttercream (fat-based preparations).
20 ml dropper bottle, for gradual drop-by-drop dosing.
The coloring is highly concentrated, so a few drops are enough to color a large quantity of mixture: a 20 ml bottle of Taupe is generally enough to color several batches of chocolate, ganache or buttercream.
How can I make a more pastel version of the Taupe shade?
Gradually mix it into white chocolate or a neutral base, adding the coloring drop by drop: the Taupe shade deepens quickly, so it's best to start with a small amount and darken it rather than the other way around.
Does the color withstand oven baking?
Taupe is mainly intended for preparations that are not baked after coloring (chocolate, ganache, icing, buttercream). When used on dough that is baked in the oven, the color may fade slightly depending on the temperature and baking time.
