Colour Mill Oil-Blend Food Coloring Primary Pack — 6×20ml Bottles for Buttercream & Chocolate

Colour Mill Oil Blend Food Coloring Primary Pack is a set of six 20 ml oil-based food colors (Black, Green, Orange, Red, Royal, Yellow) formulated for rich, vibrant shades in buttercream, chocolate and fondant.

These oil-dispersed food colors are blended specifically for high-fat and water-sensitive baking applications where water-based dyes can break down texture or bleed. The Primary Pack includes Black, Green, Orange, Red, Royal and Yellow in 20 milliliter bottles—sized for hobby decorators and small bakeries—and is produced and bottled in Australia using a mix of local and imported ingredients.

How do these oil-based colours perform in buttercream and ganache?

Because the pigments are dispersed in oil, they integrate smoothly into fat-rich mixtures without seizing or thinning the texture. Colors deepen over time, so start with small amounts and allow a few minutes for the true shade to show.

• Designed for buttercream, Swiss meringue and ganache
• No water added—prevents texture changes in fat-based mixes
• Start with a drop or two; allow color to develop before adding more

Will these dyes work in chocolate and fondant without affecting taste or texture?

Yes—oil-based colorants are formulated to blend with cocoa butter and other fats, preserving chocolate temper and fondant consistency when used sparingly. They contain glycerol and lecithin to aid dispersion while remaining free from common allergens.

• Suitable for chocolate, fondant and ganache applications
• Allergen-free and vegan-friendly formulation
• Use small increments to maintain texture and flavour balance

How should I store and handle these bottles for best results?

Keep the bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment stability. Shake well before each use because pigments and carrier oils can separate during storage; measuring by drops gives the most control.

• Shake thoroughly before use to re-disperse pigments
• Store away from heat and sunlight to extend shelf life
• Dispense in small drops; colours will intensify over minutes

Are these colors safe and compliant with regional food standards?

These Colour Mill oil-blend colors meet the food safety requirements of the Australian and New Zealand Food Authority and are produced with ingredients compliant for edible use. They are labelled vegan and free from typical allergens, but always check the bottle and local regulations if you have specific dietary concerns.

• Meets Australian and New Zealand food safety standards
• Vegan and allergen-free formulation
• Made and bottled in Australia from local and imported components

Who is this for: This Primary Pack is ideal for home bakers, boutique cake decorators and small commercial kitchens that work regularly with buttercream, Swiss meringue, chocolate, ganache or fondant. Choose this set if you need dependable, concentrated oil-based pigments in essential primary tones, want allergen-free and vegan options, and prefer containers sized for frequent use without excess waste.
