Food coloring allows people to create different colored foods, frosting and drinks. Certain colors, like burgundy, are not sold in pre-made bottles and must be mixed by combining the correct combination of colors. A basic knowledge of the color wheel and which colors can be combined to create others is all that is required. There are several ways to create the color burgundy, depending on how dark or light you want the shade to be.
Instructions
1. Mix 5 parts of rose food coloring with 1 part violet to create a deep shade of burgundy. Achieve wine colored shades of burgundy by mixing red food coloring with blue. The amounts of each will depend on your individual preferences.
2. Combine 3 parts of holiday red and 2 parts rose pink. During the Christmas season, certain food coloring shades, such as holiday red, are more readily available than at other times of the year.
3. Combine red, blue and black to create a burgundy shade. The amounts of each type of color depends on the hue you are trying to achieve.
