A natural blue colorant solution comprising red cabbage liquid, aluminum
sulfate and sodium bicarbonate is disclosed. The pH of the colorant
solution is in the range of 3.8 to 4.2 and can be used to provide a blue
hue when incorporated into products having a pH greater than 5.5. A
highly stable blue colorant solution is created when the weight ratio of
the aluminum sulfate and sodium bicarbonate is approximately 2:1. The
blue colorant solution can be modified to create a natural green colorant
solution by the addition of a natural yellow colorant and additional
sodium bicarbonate.
