Colour Mill Aqua Blend 20ml DENIM

Colour Mill Aqua Blend Denim is a mid-tone, slightly desaturated blue — the kind of shade that gives bakes a modern, contemporary edge without the intensity of royal blue. This water-based 20ml formula is perfect for fondant work, royal icing lettering, and meringue colouring. Think coastal aesthetics, gender-reveal bakes, and sophisticated blue-toned cakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Colour Mill Aqua Blend and Oil Blend?

Aqua Blend is a water-based food colouring designed for royal icing, fondant, meringue, and other water-based applications. Oil Blend is specifically formulated for chocolate, candy melts, and fat-based mediums like American buttercream. Using the wrong formula in the wrong medium can cause seizing or uneven colour — always match the colouring type to your base.

How much Aqua Blend Denim do I need for deeply coloured royal icing?

Because Colour Mill Aqua Blend is highly concentrated, start with 2–4 drops per 100g of royal icing and mix thoroughly before adding more. For a deep denim shade, you may need to add gradually and allow the colour to deepen as the icing sits. Always mix in good lighting so you can judge the shade accurately.
