 colour - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about colour
Food additive used to alter or improve the colour of processed foods.
Colourings include artificial colours, such as tartrazine and amaranth, which are made from petrochemicals, and the ‘natural’ colours such as chlorophyll, caramel, and carotene.
Some of the natural colours are actually synthetic copies of the naturally occurring substances, and some of these, notably the synthetically produced caramels, may be injurious to health.

 Food coloring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes the aim is to simulate a natural color as perceived by the consumer, such as adding red coloring to glacé cherries (which would otherwise be beige), but sometimes it is for effect, like the green ketchup that Heinz launched in 2000.
While most consumers are aware that foods with bright, unnatural colors, like Froot Loops, are artificially colored, few people know that apparently "natural" foods such as oranges are sometimes also dyed to mask natural variations in color.
Many of the artificial food colorings are suspected to cause reactions ranging from hyperactivity to depression to asthma-like symptoms in sensitive individuals.

 Food additive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Food additives are substances added to food to preserve it, or to improve its flavour and appearance.
Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, when preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, or using sulphur dioxide as is common in wine.
However, with the advent of processed foods in the second half of the 20th century, many more additives have begun to be used, of both natural and artificial origin.

Others feel that any colour not derived from a plant or animal source (in other words, it is created in a lab) is not natural.
Most believe that a colour can be labeled natural if it is derived from a natural source, for example the plant or animal colours.
The reality is that most colours are defined as uncertified by the Food and Drug Administration (U.S.)- which means they aren’t required to have a standard of chemical purity and can be listed as a natural colour.

 "Food Coloring" by Edward Willett
Well, whatever day it is, it's still a good one to talk about food coloring, since so much of it will be used, albeit it mostly the same color.
But in the 19th century, as science and technology exploded, many new types of food coloring appeared, whipped up in chemist's labs and, in many cases, not intended for use in food at all.
However, no food additive can ever be proven to be 100 percent safe--nothing can ever be proven to be 100 percent safe--and different people react to different things.
