Colours
Reimagine the vibrance of your product
Good foods go beyond just great taste, we make them visually appealing and appetising. Reimagine the vibrance of your products.
Why Food Colouring?
Food colouring is used to create an appealing aesthetic to foods and beverages – but beyond that, colouring can also be used to impact consumers’ perception of taste and bring out positive emotions. A light purple lavender tea may create a calming perception, while a dark brown chocolate cake may give the perception of premium quality. When used ethically, food colouring serves an important function of encouraging regular consumption of foods and intake of nutrients, especially for the elderly and weak.
KH Roberts strives to go beyond just providing aroma and taste expertise, but also to enhance food product visuals in order to ensure high overall consumer satisfaction.

Consumers Expectations
Consumers have come to expect certain colours to elicit certain tastes, aromas, intensities, and more. Food colouring gives consumers an idea of expected taste, and aids in managing their satisfaction. One would expect an orange coloured to taste like orange flavour, or a light green coloured food to taste like lime.
On top of taste expectations, there are emotional perceptions of food colour that can be tricky to navigate.
- Yellow is commonly associated with tastes that are sour like lemonade.
- Red is often associated with freshness or a sweet taste. However, others associate it with food that is unhealthy, causing avoidance reactions.
- Green is commonly associated with healthy like plant-based.
Navigating flavour perceptions in your foods is crucial to creating successful products, which is why we emphasize on providing a holistic solution on the taste, aroma and visuals of food products when collaborating with customers and partners.
