Concentrated moss green shade for fondant, icing and buttercream
Wilton Moss Green Gel Food Coloring lets you precisely adjust the color intensity, from a pastel shade to a rich hue, without making the mixture runny. Its grayer, more nuanced shade than classic leaf green gives a natural look, similar to moss or cactus.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our tips
How much food coloring is needed for a pastel shade?
A toothpick tip of coloring per 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; increase gradually for a more intense color.
Is this gel food coloring suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for water-based or emulsified fat-based mixtures (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-based food coloring.
What's the difference compared to Leaf Green?
Moss Green is more muted and slightly darker, for a natural, matte effect rather than a vivid, bright green.
