Tips & Tricks for Dying Easter Eggs with Kool Aid
Some of the lighter colors of koolaid like lemonade come out very light and will take a little longer soaking in the dye. We tested a ton of flavors of koolaid and only lemonade came out poorly. It’s the only color I wouldn’t suggest. For some colors like the pink lemonade, they come out pretty, but you’ll want to leave them in there for 3-4 minutes, rather than the 1-2.
What Color Eggs to Use When Dying Eggs with Kool-Aid? Dying eggs with Kool-Aid can be done with white or brown eggs. When using brown eggs the colors come out a little darker, but it’s still really pretty.
Do not add any more vinegar than suggested. It will eat the color off the egg and make it look bad.
Don’t add more water unless you add more koolaid or it will water down the dying aspect of the koolaid and cause the dye to not do as well.
If you handle the eggs too much coming right out of the dye, it will make marks in your coloring. For a more flawless egg, allow the egg to dry before handling it. The dye will settle onto the shell and it won’t budge after that.
The color of the egg will brighten a bit as it dries.
What Color Will Eggs be when Dying with Kool-Aid?
Lemon lime and green apple come out the same color of green.
Black cherry, sharkleberry, and cherry come out very similar shades of red, but they ARE different shades.
Peach mango comes out light orange and pina-pineapple comes out a gorgeous spring yellow.
