Natural Colors

We start with colors from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, and seeds, apply scientific expertise, and back that with more than 150 years of experience. The result is not just natural colors, but beautiful natural colors that meet the needs of consumers and manufacturers alike. From ensuring traceability, to creating easy-to-use colors in just about any form, to developing custom blends, we deliver functional products for manufacturers with the simple label needs of the market.
