Who sells the best colourings for boilies?

Also, how quickly does the colouring wash out?

I use AA Baits’ iron oxide range, mainly red or brown, they seem good and don’t really wash out at all. Liquid dyes I think will wash out a lot more?

I did wonder about this.
It’s for feed bait so I’m looking at robin red, paprika and beetroot powder as natural possibilities.

Kingfisher Red from AA Baits is very good. I only use it at 5% in a fishmeal bait to get that reddy/brown colour we all know and love.

475g fishmeal basemix,
25g Kingfisher Red (natural).

Great information, thanks.

Have you used it in bird food mixes? If so, at what levels.

I haven’t done, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use it at the same levels tbh.
