Mixing red and yellow food coloring creates the secondary color orange. The ratio of red to yellow can be adjusted to achieve different shades of orange, from light peach to deep pumpkin.
Orange food coloring is commonly used in baking, candy making, and other culinary applications. It can also be used to color playdough, slime, and other craft materials. Orange food coloring is generally considered safe for consumption, but it is important to use it in moderation, as excessive consumption of any food coloring can be harmful.
