Plant-based yellow EXBERRY® colors for food and drink

Yellow is associated with happiness and can be used to create stimulating, uplifting, and enjoyable food and drink. EXBERRY® can deliver eye-catching yellow shades to create attention-grabbing products 

Yellow is associated with joy, amusement and pleasure

Yellow is the lightest hue in the spectrum and research shows the brain can process it more quickly than other shades.[1] A survey of participants from more than six continents found that yellow is most strongly associated with joy, amusement and pleasure.[2]

 

EXBERRY® yellows are made from fruits, vegetables and plants

Yellow EXBERRY® color concentrates are plant-based and valued worldwide for their vibrancy, versatility, stability and ease of use.

Understanding technical factors is vital when using plant-based yellow colors

  • Turmeric can deliver vibrant yellow shades but is light-sensitive so benefits from opaque packaging  
  • Safflower provides bright yellows with good pH, heat, and light stability 

 

With decades of experience working with plant-based colors, our team will work closely with you to ensure you achieve optimal results. 

EXBERRY® yellows are suitable for many applications
