Oil-based Chocolate Coloring (Yellow)
Bring Sunshine to Your Chocolate
Chefmaster Yellow Oil-Based Coloring is made for chocolate, fondue, coatings, and other fat-based mixtures. It blends evenly without causing chocolate to seize, giving smooth, consistent color throughout.
It can also be added directly to melted white chocolate in your Sephra Chocolate Fountain, creating a bright yellow flow that’s perfect for themed displays, summer parties, or Easter events. Add a few drops to white chocolate for soft pastel tones or more for rich, golden yellow.
A popular choice for dessert parlous, chocolatiers, and caterers, this shade is ideal for Easter eggs, lemon-inspired desserts, tropical displays, and sunny summer menus. It’s a simple way to add warmth and brightness to your chocolate and confectionery work.
How to Use Yellow Oil-Based Coloring
Chefmaster Candy Color is highly concentrated, so start small and add one drop at a time, mixing well between additions. Build the color gradually until you achieve your desired shade — from pale lemon to deep sunshine yellow.
If your chocolate thickens slightly while mixing, stir in a small amount of cocoa butter or vegetable oil to restore a smooth texture.
Tip: Always use oil-based coloring when working with chocolate or cocoa butter. Water-based dyes can make chocolate seize or grainy, while oil-based colorigs mix perfectly with fats for a silky finish.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Fat-Based Recipes
This yellow coloring works beautifully in any fat-based mixture where water-based colors don’t mix properly.
Ideal for:
• Cocoa butter – for airbrushing or decorating chocolate moulds.
• Candy melts and coatings – perfect for cake pops or themed desserts.
• Buttercream and icings – great for Easter cupcakes, lemon cakes, and summer bakes.
• Fondue and ganache – eye-catching options for dessert bars.
• Ice cream coatings – create vibrant toppings for frozen treats.

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, which gives bright, true colours. In milk or dark chocolate, the cocoa color will overpower the dye and dull the final shade.
Q: Can I make light or dark tones?
A: Yes. Add one drop at a time for a soft lemon shade or more for a bold yellow. Mix slowly to reach the color you want.
Q: Why do oil-based colorings work better with chocolate?
A: Chocolate contains cocoa butter, which is fat. Oil-based colourings mix evenly with fats, keeping chocolate smooth. Water-based dyes can make chocolate seize.
Q: Does it change the flavor?
A: No. Chefmaster colorings are neutral and won’t alter the taste of your chocolate, fondue, or buttercream.
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 colour 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.
