Best Answer

Food colouring is not your best choice to colour paraffin. Food colouring is in a liquid base that has to evaporate from the paraffin before you can pour it, and the results will be patchy and not very pleasing.

For an inexpensive colourant for paraffin use old crayons. Remove the paper wrappers, break them up into small pieces and stir them into the hot paraffin, blend well for an even colour and pour the paraffin into candle molds or whatever your project calls for.

Why is water clear and how does food coloring work?

Water is clear because protons can pass through the molecular structure of water uninterrupted. Food coloring on the other hand contains a molecular structure that can absorb protons. The molecular structure contains a high amount of conjugated electrons, which means that the electrons in the molecule can vibrate further than in a non-conjugated molecule. The ability to vibrate allows the molecules in food coloring to interact with protons.
