Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorants
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Mint Green - ProGel
Concentrated pastel mint green for cake design and creative baking
Rainbow Dust's ProGel Mint Green gel food coloring is a bright pastel green designed for cake design and creative baking. This distinctive aqua green shade, both soft and vibrant, is especially suitable for baby shower themes, spring weddings, and mint macarons.
Its professional gel formula guarantees an even color without altering the texture of fondant, creams, or icings. The gel format prevents the yellow and blue pigments that make up mint green from separating, a common problem with powdered food colorings.

Uses

- Royal icing, macarons, and whipped ganache
- Cookies, shortbread, and sponge cakes for rainbow cakes (color remains stable during baking)

Please note: Mint Green is a powerful pigment: too much can quickly shift the shade toward an overly saturated green. For a subtle pastel, first dilute a small amount of gel in a small ball of white fondant, then gradually incorporate this colored ball into the main mixture.

Frequently asked questions
How can I achieve a very pale aqua shade with Mint Green?
Mint Green is very powerful, and too much can quickly shift the shade toward an overly saturated green. For a subtle pastel shade, first dilute a small amount of gel in a small ball of white fondant, then gradually incorporate this colored ball into your main mixture. This step-by-step coloring technique allows you to control the pastel's lightness perfectly.
Why choose the gel format for mint coloring?
Mint green is a complex blend of yellow and blue pigments. In powdered form, these pigments can separate during mixing and create uneven color spots or visible marbling. The gel ensures the pigments immediately blend into the preparation's matrix for a uniform finish without demarcation.
Can this gel be used to color chocolate?
Because this gel is water-soluble, it is not recommended for coloring pure white chocolate, as the water in the formula can cause the chocolate mass to seize. To color chocolate directly, choose dedicated oil-soluble food colorings. However, Mint Green works perfectly for coloring ganache (where the chocolate is balanced by the cream) or Candy Melts, which are more tolerant of water-based colorings.
