RAINBOW DUST - PRO POWDER
Powder Food Coloring - Deep Purple
Matte powdered food coloring, concentrated deep purple
Rainbow Dust's Deep Purple Pro Powder is a concentrated powdered food coloring formulated to remain a stable deep purple, without shifting toward indigo blue or magenta red after drying. It is specially suited to moisture-sensitive mediums: cocoa butter, tempered chocolate, meringue, buttercream, and royal icing. Use it dry with a brush for shaded effects, or dilute it in a neutral food-grade alcohol for precise edible painting.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Why choose a powder rather than a gel for purple?
The powder is compatible with tempered chocolate and cocoa butter, which liquid or gel coloring would cause to seize. It also keeps longer without drying out.
Will the purple shift toward blue or pink over time?
No, the formula precisely balances the E122 and E133 colorings to maintain a stable deep purple after drying and crystallization.
Can it be used for Halloween decorations?
Yes, its intense deep purple is a popular shade for Halloween decorations, either on its own or paired with a green such as Racing Green or Forest Green.
