Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Nude

Oil-soluble food coloring in Nude, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Nude evokes unbleached linen and the rosy beige of women's undergarments. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based pastry mixtures: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant warmed by hand. Particularly sought after by cake designers for contemporary wedding cakes with a high-end natural theme and event cupcakes for elegant evenings with an earthy palette, it delivers a distinctive shade recognizable as part of the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without changing color or fading. The Nude shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 20 ml squeeze dropper bottle enables precise dosing for occasional use and shade testing, without waste when preparing small batches.

Nude: 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 colour evenly.

Patissland Tip - Nude

Nude is the chic alternative to Blush for 2024–2026 wedding cakes. It works in monochrome on an ivory background for a sculptural effect (100% textured Nude wedding cakes are dominating Pinterest). Pair it with Caramel or Latte for an earthy gradient, never with saturated colors that would make it look ordinary.
