Pearl Color Red Powdered Colorant
Pearlescent powder for a pearl effect on chocolate and sugar
Pearl Color Red is a pearlescent powdered colorant by Silikomart, designed to create a luminous, pearl-like effect on chocolate, sugar paste, or icing. Unlike flat-toned colorants, its pearlescent base catches the light and adds depth to the color.
Recommended uses
- Pearl effect on molded chocolate or sugar paste pieces
- Dry dusting on fondant, icing, or sugar decorations
- Dilution in food-grade alcohol for brush application
- Adding shine to already-colored decorations
Application: for an even pearlescent effect, lightly sift the powder before dusting or dilute it in a little food-grade alcohol for brush application. Close the container carefully after use to preserve the pigment's luster.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a pearlescent colorant and a classic colorant?
A pearlescent colorant such as Pearl Color uses a pearlescent pigment that reflects light, creating a luminous, pearl-like effect, while a classic colorant produces a flat shade without any particular reflection.
Can Pearl Color Red be applied directly with a brush?
Yes. Dilute a small amount of powder in food-grade alcohol, such as neutral vodka, to create a pearlescent paint for application with a brush to dry chocolate or sugar paste.
Does this colorant require a child warning on the label?
Pearlescent colorants such as Pearl Color generally use mineral pearlescent pigments rather than azo dyes subject to a regulatory warning; however, check the ingredient list on the label received before use.
