Blending Chart
Add food color gradually, a little at a time, to obtain desired shade.
  • Add 1 tbsp vinegar and 1/4 tsp of desired food color to 2 cups of boiling water.
  • Using a slotted spoon, place hard cooked eggs into coloring solution for 5 minutes or longer.
  • Remove eggs from coloring solution, and let dry. Once dry, color will not rub off.
  • For other colors, refer to chart below.
