Color Selection & Color Matching

Whether you need to replace artificial colors, switch to an alternative color source, or match an existing color, our team of experts are on hand to help you make the move to EXBERRY® Coloring Foods. We have decades of experience using EXBERRY® concentrates across a wide range of food and beverage applications and can provide full guidance on color selection and performance.

For effective color matching, all we need is your representative uncolored base and recipe details, process parameters, shelf-life requirements, and color target. If an uncolored base is unavailable, a custom model system can be developed for your particular project.

Discover how we can help you select the right color for your application.

Stability Testing

For a product to be successful, it has to look great throughout the shelf-life. Our color selection service includes verification of performance to determine that the chosen solution meets expectations every step of the way.

We have an extensive information bank that helps us predict performance and provide effective advice. We also offer a range of accelerated light and heat testing methods to forecast with a high degree of accuracy how a product will perform over the product’s shelf-life. Recipes can then be optimized to minimize any changes throughout the product’s lifecycle.
