Natural Colors

May 1, 2025 by

Natural Colors

Did you know, 46% of U.S. consumers report avoiding artificial colors in their food choices1? Today’s consumers are reading labels more closely than ever—and they’re demanding clean, recognizable ingredients. At the same time, state and federal regulations are moving toward restricting artificial dyes, putting pressure on brands to reformulate.

That’s where natural food coloring come in.

With decades of experience, Food Ingredient Solutions by Oterra has helped some of the world’s leading food and beverage brands make a seamless shift to natural colors—without compromising on visual appeal or brand integrity.

Stay ahead of consumer expectations and regulatory changes. Go natural with Gillco, your trusted natural food color supplier!

What Are Natural Food Colors?

We harness nature’s best to offer a rich spectrum of vibrant, eye-catching natural food colors. Our colors come from raw sources such as paprika, annatto, turmeric, spirulina, apples, jagua fruit, carrot oil, purple sweet potato, red cabbage, black carrot, red beet, grape, radish, tomato, and cochineal.

Gillco, one of the leading natural food colors manufacturing companies, offers a beautiful palette of Oterra’s line of natural colors. These colors are designed to meet consumer demand for cleaner, more natural labels and are also safe, high‑quality, and customizable.

If you’re not yet using natural food coloring, we can help you differentiate your products and move your brand toward natural. If natural food colors are already in your product line, we can help you optimize their use to make your formulations more innovative and effective.
