Food-grade egg inks come in several colors: red (the most common), blue, green, purple, black, yellow, orange and even invisible. All are formulated to be safe on shells and highly visible against the white or brown shell.
Red is popular because it reads clearly and is traditionally associated with grading and freshness marks. Blue and green are often used for organic or specialty lines to differentiate products.
Choose colors that stand out on your specific shell type and that your customers associate with your brand or grade.
