Nomeca Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate — 20-Color .25 fl oz Bottles, Concentrated Oil-Soluble Dyes

Nomeca Oil-Based Food Coloring is a 20-color set of edible, oil-soluble dyes formulated to color chocolate, candy melts and other fat-based confections without altering flavor. Whether you're tinting ganache, coloring candy melts, or customizing confectionery for holidays, this Nomeca kit provides an assortment of concentrated oil colors designed specifically for high-fat applications. Each color comes in a squeezable .25 fl oz bottle so you can add vivid pigment drop by drop; the formula is non-water-soluble, making it compatible with chocolate and other fat-rich ingredients.

How do these oil colors perform with chocolate and candy melts?

The Nomeca colors are made to disperse into fats and oils rather than water, so they blend into melted chocolate and candy coatings without seizing. Because they are oil-based, you’ll get brighter, more even shades when tinting ganache, modeling chocolate, or candy melts.

• Specifically formulated for high-fat systems like chocolate and butter-based icings
• Concentrated pigments for stronger color with fewer drops
• Squeezable bottles for precise dispensing and controlled color build-up
• Not water-soluble—avoid using in beverages or water-based batters

Which colors are included and how versatile is the palette?

The set contains 20 distinct shades spanning primary, pastel and deep tones so you can mix custom hues or use them straight from the bottle. From bright reds and blues to greens, oranges, neutrals and specialty blues, the collection supports seasonal themes and detailed decorating work.

• 20 colors including red, pink, blush, purplish red, blue, teal, tiffany blue, klein blue
• Additional shades: baby blue, green, grass green, fruit green, dark green, orange, yellow
• Finish with violet, purple, black, white and brown for contrast and shading
• Mixable to create gradients, marbling or custom tones for occasions

How do I use and store the Nomeca oil food colors safely?

Shake each bottle well before using to ensure even pigment distribution, then add a few drops to melted chocolate or fat-based icings. Start with small amounts—you can always increase intensity—then stir thoroughly until the color is uniform. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and seal tightly after use.

• Shake bottles before use for consistent color flow
• Add incrementally to melted chocolate or candy melts and mix until even
• Use sparingly—concentrated formula requires fewer drops
• Keep capped and store in a cool, dark location to preserve pigment quality

Nomeca’s oil-based colors are labeled food-grade and designed not to change the flavor profile of your confections. The formulation is free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, peanuts and tree nuts, but always check the product label and packaging for the latest ingredient and allergen information.
