Colour Mill oil-based food coloring Purple 100 mL — concentrated, fat-compatible dye for buttercream & chocolate

Colour Mill Oil-Based Food Coloring in Purple — a concentrated, oil-dispersed food dye in a 100 mL bottle designed to give deep, even purple hues to buttercream, chocolate, ganache and fondant.

Whether you’re a cake decorator, chocolatier or home baker, this oil-based purple color delivers reliable, vivid shades without thinning fat-based icings. Formulated to disperse into oil and fat mediums, the Colour Mill purple gives you consistent coloring across large batches and small accents while meeting Australian and New Zealand food safety standards.

How will this purple color behave in buttercream and ganache?

The oil-based formula blends smoothly into fat-rich icings and chocolate, producing intense color without altering consistency. Because it disperses in oils rather than water, it avoids the runny texture that water-based colors can cause.

• Designed for buttercream, Swiss meringue and ganache — no thinning.
• Concentrated 100 mL bottle covers multiple large batches.
• Even distribution prevents streaks or patchy coloring.

Can I use this in cake batter, fondant and chocolate work?

Yes — the Colour Mill oil-based purple is formulated to color cake batter, fondant and chocolate where a fat-compatible dye is needed. It maintains the texture of fondant and chocolate temper while yielding strong, true-to-tone purple shades.

• Works well in fondant and modeling chocolate for sculpted details.
• Add to melted chocolate or ganache without compromising set.
• Use sparingly in batter; adjust for desired intensity.

What dietary and safety standards does this product meet?

This product is allergen-free and vegan-friendly, formulated without common allergens and animal-derived ingredients. It complies with food safety standards of the Australian and New Zealand Food Authority, making it suitable for commercial and home kitchens in those regions.

• Vegan and free from typical allergens.
• Manufactured to meet Australian and New Zealand regulatory requirements.
• Produced and labeled for food use, not for non-food applications.

How do I dose and store the oil-based purple for best results?

A little goes a long way: start with a few drops for pastel shades and add more gradually to reach deep purple. Keep the bottle sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to preserve color stability and shelf life.

• Begin with small increments to control intensity.
• Tighten cap after use and store away from heat and sunlight.
• Shake or stir into fat-based mixtures for uniform color.
