Black Oil Blend 20mL by Colour Mill
Bold, dramatic & unapologetic—Black is the ultimate statement shade for cake artists who want depth, contrast, and elegance. Colour Mill’s oil-based formula is designed to blend seamlessly with fats and oils, making it ideal for buttercream, ganache, fondant, chocolate, and more. Unlike traditional gel colors, this pigment delivers rich, fade-resistant tones without staining teeth or leaving an unpleasant aftertaste.
Uses in Baking & Decoration
Black is a powerhouse for themed events like Halloween, New Year’s Eve, and Gothic weddings. It’s perfect for creating sleek drip cakes, moody buttercream textures, and sophisticated fondant accents. Use it for graduation cakes, black-tie birthday parties, or luxury dessert tables. It also adds stunning contrast to floral arrangements and metallic finishes on cupcakes, macarons, and cookies.
Color Pairings
Pair Black with Gold or Silver for a glamorous look, or soften it with pastels like Baby Pink and Lilac. For bold contrast, combine with Red, Royal Blue, or Fuchsia.
Colour Intensity
Using more drops will increase the intensity of colour and less will create softer hues. Build the colour slowly as you mix your batter to achieve your desired hue.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before use. For best results, allow your colored mixture to rest overnight to deepen the hue.
