Herbeklab Navy Blue Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate – 100ml Professional, Concentrated & Flavorless

Herbeklab Navy Blue oil-based food coloring is a concentrated, flavorless dye formulated to blend seamlessly into cocoa butter, chocolate and other fat-based confections to deliver deep, consistent navy blue tones.

Designed for professional bakers, chocolatiers and home confectioners, this 100ml oil-based dye mixes into fats instead of water, so it won’t seize chocolate or thin candy melts. The formula is highly concentrated and odorless, giving bright, lasting navy blue without changing taste or texture when used as directed. Shake before use for best dispersion and add sparingly—a few drops go a long way.

How do I use this oil-based color in chocolate without seizing it?

Use only in fat-based media such as tempered chocolate, compound coatings and candy melts. Add the dye to melted chocolate while it’s fully liquid and mix gently until evenly distributed; avoid adding water or water-based colorants, which will cause flocculation.

• Add 1–3 drops per 100g of couverture, then adjust until desired depth is reached.
• Stir with a dry, heatproof spatula or whisk at low speed for uniform color.
• Allow chocolate to rest briefly to remove any air bubbles before molding or enrobing.

Will this navy blue dye change flavor or texture of my confections?

No—Herbeklab’s navy blue dye is formulated to be flavorless and odorless so it won’t alter the taste of your finished product. Because it’s oil-based, it dissolves into fats rather than adding moisture, preserving the texture of truffles, ganache and coated fruits.

• Tasteless formula suitable for delicate chocolate and fillings.
• No added water or alcohol that could thin or grain chocolate.
• Works with butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and other fats used in baking and candying.

How concentrated is the color and how much should I expect to use?

The dye is highly concentrated—only a few drops are usually enough to shift a light chocolate to a rich navy blue. Start with small increments, mix fully, and add more if necessary to avoid oversaturation or uneven patches.

• Begin with 1–3 drops per 100g of chocolate; increase gradually for deeper shades.
• For coatings and candy melts, test color on a small amount and cool to check final hue.
• Store upright and capped to keep concentration stable between uses.

What applications are best suited to this oil-based navy blue dye?

This color is intended for oil-based applications: tempered chocolate, compound coatings, candy melts, cake pops, dipped strawberries and certain meringue or fondant finishes that accept oil-soluble dyes. It is not formulated for water-based batters, beverages or frosting that rely on water for structure.

• Perfect for chocolate shells, ganache centers and molded bonbons.
• Ideal for coating cake pops, candy decorations and dipped fruit.
• Not recommended for water-based icings, syrups or drinks.

Who is this for: Herbeklab’s navy blue oil-based food coloring suits pastry chefs, small-batch chocolatiers, caterers and home bakers who need reliable, concentrated color for fat-based confections. If you want vivid navy hues in chocolate, candy melts or dipped fruits without altering flavor or texture, this dye offers professional-level performance and simple dose control.
