Red is an oil-soluble food coloring by Colour Mill in a 100 ml size, the larger format in the range, designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is more suited to occasional use. Its classic, vivid, bold and saturated red shade blends directly into fatty preparations without affecting their texture or setting.

How many drops should I use to achieve the Red shade?

Is this Red food coloring compatible with fondant or royal icing?
Red is an oil-based food coloring formulated for fatty preparations: melted white, dark, or milk chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache, and buttercream. It is not designed for water-based preparations such as royal icing or fondant mixed with water, where it will not disperse properly: reserve it for fatty bases, particularly for Christmas creations and Valentine's Day decorations.
Can Red be mixed with another Colour Mill shade?
Yes, Colour Mill oil-based food colorings can be mixed together to adjust Red to a lighter or deeper shade. Test on a small amount of fat before coloring the entire preparation.
