Oil-based coloring for chocolate, ganaches, and fat-based preparations.
Colour Mill Midnight is a concentrated oil-soluble coloring in a 20 ml dropper bottle. Its oil-based formula blends directly into chocolate, cocoa butter, ganaches, and high-fat creams without causing the mixture to become grainy. The Midnight shade gives a very deep blue-black, even darker than Navy.
Ingredients: Humectant: E422, vegetable oil (rapeseed), colorings: E172, E132, E120, emulsifiers: E322, E433.

Midnight is oil-soluble: it binds to fats (chocolate, cocoa butter, high-fat creams). A water-soluble coloring, on the other hand, dissolves in water and is suitable for preparations such as royal icing; the two are not interchangeable.
Yes, Midnight can be mixed directly into melted couverture chocolate before molding without changing its texture or interfering with unmolding, when added in a reasonable amount.
