Question

I am using food coloring and need to make the color black,anyone know what colors to use?

Answer 1

When you put all of the colors together they make black, I learned this in Art Class.

Answer 2

black is the presence of all colors, so just mix 'em all together and...

presto!  

Answer 3

Black is made using all of the primary colours (red, yellow and blue) just use all of them..it may take some practice but i recommend adding a touch more blue to bring out the darkness...

failing that you can actually buy black food dye now, so you could try ur local super market or cake shop! :)

Answer 4

you'll need a lot of food coloring.

a lot of blue and some red.

little to no yellow.

idk about green

they sell black food coloring at specialty stores

Answer 5

All of the colors, but put considerably more blue than red or yellow. This is from my experience with paint, not with food coloring. And even then, you will not get a pure black, because it's dilluted with water or whatever. You'll get grey, at best.

Answer 6

Mix them alllllll together!!!!  

Answer 7

hmm my dad did once when he made a ladybug cake but i have no idea how. lol yes my dad makes lady bug cakes.

Answer 8

try a little bit of red and lotss of blue. that would make purple.. and if you get enough it would look black.

Answer 9

You can actually buy black food coloring from Wilton's, for one. To mix colors would not make a true black.

Answer 15

Answer 16

blue and red. . .

Answer 17

The closest you'll get to black is by using equal parts of all of the primary colored food coloring - red, blue and yellow. If you need it to be dark black, rather than gray-looking, you'll need a high concentration of coloring, of course.

Answer 18

White is the absence of color. Black is every color in the spectrum. Use all your colors equally.

Answer 19

If you put all of the colors together, they make black
