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.

Can I blend Sunset with other Aqua Blend colours for ombre effects?

Yes — Aqua Blend Sunset works beautifully in gradient and ombre applications. Blend it with Yellow for a lighter golden tone, or step it through Orange into Raspberry for a full warm sunset palette. Because all Colour Mill Aqua Blend shades share the same water-based formula, they are fully compatible for blending and layering.
