This has lead to lots of questions about how to colour fondant, how to colour fondant without staining your hands and especially how to color black fondant, brown fondant and bright pink fondant.  So in this video I have set about to answer all of those questions and show you how to mix every colour using only five gel food colours.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HPdc9XKC34?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Below is a chart of all the colours made using only 5 base gel colours.  The base colors that I used were<br \/>\n<strong>Black: (number 36 on the chart) <\/strong> I used Artisan midnight black<br \/>\n<strong>Magenta: (number 28 on the chart)<\/strong> I used progel pink (this one was the best and strongest colour pink, see the video)<br \/>\n<strong>Cyan: (number 33 on the chart)<\/strong> I used Artisan azure blue<br \/>\n<strong>Yellow (number 30 on the chart): <\/strong>Artisan Sunshine yellow<br \/>\n<strong>Red: (29 on the chart)<\/strong> I used artisan red<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to experiment using other brands.  Test first to see if the colour you get with 1mL (0.03 fluid ounces) added to 100g (3.53 ounces) of fondant is significantly different to that shown in the chart (28, 29,30,33, 36).  If it is not the same then obviously your mixed colours will look different too.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-color-fondant-ann-reardon-chart-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"chart of fondant colors\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-84804\" data-wp-pid=\"84804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-color-fondant-ann-reardon-chart-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-color-fondant-ann-reardon-chart-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-color-fondant-ann-reardon-chart-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-color-fondant-ann-reardon-chart-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For measuring purposes if you need to add a fraction of a drop, add one drop to a small amount of white fondant and mix it in.
