Oil-based Chocolate Coloring (Violet)
Create Magical Purple Shades in Your Chocolate
Chefmaster Violet Oil-Based Coloring is made for use with chocolate, fondue, coatings, and other fat-based mixtures. This smooth-blending, oil-soluble color gives an even tone without seizing or clumping — ideal for white chocolate and cocoa butter work.
It can also be added directly to melted white chocolate in your Sephra Chocolate Fountain, creating a beautiful flow of violet color that’s perfect for events, themed parties, and dessert displays. Add a few drops for soft lavender tones or more for rich purple hues.
This colour is a favorite for Easter desserts, wedding displays, mermaid or unicorn themes, and lavender-inspired creations. Whether you’re coating strawberries, colouring fondue, or decorating cakes, it adds a touch of fun and creativity to your desserts.
How to Use Violet Oil-Based Coloring
Chefmaster Candy Color is highly concentrated — start small and add one drop at a time, stirring well between additions. You can easily build your color from delicate lilac to deep violet.
If your chocolate thickens slightly while colouring, stir in a touch of cocoa butter or vegetable oil to keep it smooth and glossy.
Tip: Always use oil-based colouring for chocolate. Water-based dyes can make it seize or grainy, while oil-based colorings blend smoothly with cocoa butter for perfect results.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Fat-Based Recipes
This violet coloring is suitable for any fat-based product where water-based colors won’t blend properly.
It’s great for:
• Cocoa butter – airbrushing, painting, or mould decoration.
• Candy melts and coatings – ideal for themed treats and event catering.
• Buttercream and icings – perfect for unicorn cupcakes, Easter eggs, and lavender cakes.
• Fondue and ganache – fun, colorful options for dessert bars.
• Ice cream coatings – eye-catching finishes for frozen desserts.

When multiple bottles are added the coloring may thicken the White Chocolate, results vary from brand to brand and freshness of chocolate. A little added vegetable oil or cocoa butter will alleviate this and return the fountain back to its optimal viscosity.

Q: What type of chocolate does this work best with?
A: Oil-based coloring works best with white chocolate, as it gives a neutral base for bright, true colors. In milk or dark chocolate, the cocoa color will overpower the dye and create a muted shade.
Q: Can I make lighter or darker purples?
A: Yes. Add one drop at a time to build up from soft lilac to deep violet.
Q: Why do oil-based colorings work better with chocolate?
A: Chocolate contains cocoa butter, which is fat. Oil-based colorings mix smoothly with fats for even results, while water-based dyes can cause seizing.
Q: Does it affect the flavor?
A: No. It’s completely neutral and won’t alter taste.
Q: What else can I use it for?
A: It’s also suitable for cocoa butter, candy melts, buttercream, fondue, ganache, and ice cream coatings.
Q: How is the bottle sealed?
A: Each bottle has a mess-free twist-top cap and is heat-sealed for safety. Remove the seal before use.
Q: Can I mix different colors together?
A: Yes. Chefmaster Oil-Based Colorings can be mixed to create custom shades. Simply blend a few drops of each color into your melted white chocolate or coating until you reach the tone you want. Mix small amounts first to test the result.
Q: I’ve noticed that some Chefmaster products contain glycerin. Is it derived from a plant or animal source?
A: The glycerin used in Chefmaster products is plant-based, making it suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Q: How do you get food coloring off your skin?
A: Wash the affected area with soap and water, or use a soft scrub. Dish soap also works well to remove any remaining color.
