Hi Girls! Hope this helps! For me, purple Kool-Aid held it's color very well. I used grape, cherry, lime, & orange, Kool-Aids to do these guys. It would have taken all the gel colors that I had, and then some, to get these dark colors. lol Did not have to add very many gels to them, just for different hues. I made most of these at least a month before the event, as time permitted, & they kept their color very well. Even the purple on Larry Boy! And I still have 2 left from last August, a French Pea & Jr. Asparagus, pic below. Jordan & Ethan ate the rest...
The color is holding up well, as you can see.

That's very interesting Bonnie. We don't have Kool Aid over here - I gather it's some kind of powdered drink? Must be cheaper than gel colours too?

Morning Katy, here is a pic of some of the flavors in pks. They are about $1 each, & will make a 2 quart pitcher of drink. They have very vivid colors, and excellent flavors. This is the original brand, they come under other names, but all work. You probably have something similar over yonder. I only use a small amt. at a time, so they are quite cost effective for me. Best of all is the ease, and less mess involved, using them. I grease my hands before kneading in the color, and get no stains on them. I have gloves, but hardly ever have to wear them. BUT, if the drink itself is spilled, it WILL stain carpet.
Hi Gail! I do use the sugar free which just happens to be caffeine free. Caffeine gives me PAC's, which by themselves are no big deal, I just don't like the way they feel. I get enough of that from my RBBB. lol
