COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Taupe Food Coloring
Taupe Shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Based Taupe evokes elegant felt and the grey-beige of marble. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. It's often used on neutral, premium wedding cake biscuits with royal icing and minimalist, earthy-themed cookies.

Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons
- Not suitable for fat-based mixtures (chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter): water causes chocolate to seize
- 20 ml soft squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
- Shade remains stable once the royal icing has dried completely (about 24 hours), with no change in tone
- Gluten-free, lactose-free, egg-free, peanut-free, soy-free; suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets
Directions for use
- Shake the bottle before use and add to a mixture at room temperature (18 to 22 °C)
- Typical dosage: 2 to 4 drops per 250 g for a pastel shade, up to 20 drops for a dark shade
- Mix, then leave to rest for 15 minutes before adjusting the shade if needed
- To colour chocolate or ganache, use the oil-based Colour Mill range, not this water-based food colouring

Your questions, our advice
Does the colour hold after the icing has dried completely?
Yes, the colour remains stable once the royal icing has dried completely, which takes about 24 hours. This is suitable for decorated biscuits sold several days after they are made.
How much should I use for a highly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, letting it rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a dropper opening: a gentle squeeze dispenses a precise drop.
