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.

EXBERRY® Carotene: A natural, eco-friendly and cost-effective solution

Our EXBERRY® Yellow Carotene, derived from Dunaliella salina, stands out as one of the most natural beta carotene alternatives available today.

Cultivated in saltwater, this sustainable colorant has a minimal environmental footprint. With its high concentration, only a small amount is required to create rich, vibrant yellow shades—making it both a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly choice.

 

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

  • Beverages 
  • Savory 
  • Bakery 
  • Confectionery 
  • Cereals and snacks 
  • Plant-based food and drink

Each application has its own technical considerations. In beverages, for example, our yellows deliver exceptional shades, but fruit and vegetable juice concentrates may require a stabilizer to prevent sedimentation
