Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Navy

Oil-soluble food coloring in Navy, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Navy evokes a naval officer's uniform and a classic inkwell. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fatty pastry bases: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and sugar paste softened by the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for classic, formal wedding cakes and layer cakes for a boy's family ceremony with a nautical theme, it delivers a distinctive color 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 becoming lighter. The Navy color 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 use and color testing, without waste when preparing small batches.

Navy: 3 shades depending on the dosage

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

Instructions for use
