First, compliments on sticking with natural. **Red cabbage** is a [natural pH indicator][1]. While you _can_ get it to turn any colour, it **will shift in colour** if the food pH is not the same as the cabbage. - You can use blueberries (ha!), blackberries, and Elderberries for various blues (see the note below on why it's hard to get a natural blue). - For greens, we use basil pesto. - For reds, there are some edible flowers that do well, obviously beats and raspberries. - For yellow/orange. Saffron! grind it down in a pestle and mortar and dissolve in a bit of hot water. Note of caution: Saffron at high doses is toxic, but at that dose, you'd be spending hundreds of dollars worth of saffron to get saffron poisoning. - Obviously you can mix these to get secondary colours. You can loosely follow [this vegetable dye][2] making recipe (obviously leave out the chemicals). [Blue dye in history][3]: Getting a natural blue has been traditionally difficult (and expensive). Artists show Virgin Mary wearing blue because in those days it [was more expensive than gold][4].
