This is not a chemical change. The food colouring forms part of the mixture on the icing sugar + flavouring + water + colouring. A chemical change requires there to be a change in the nature of the ingredients eg cooking eggs.

What can you add to pink icing to make it green?

The colours which are required to create green are blue and yellow, so technically you cannot create green from pink as pink is created from red and white, as adding blue and yellow to red would create brown or black. However, if you add a surplus amount of blue and green to pink icing, it should eventually become green if the amounts of blue and yellow out weight the amount of red dye used.

How do you make white icing black?

To make a real black icing, take 2 cups of Wilton's ready-to-use buttercream, add 1/2 cup good quality cocoa (sift if it seems lumpy), 2 teaspoons of water, and 1 oz. Wilton black icing color. You will achieve a true, deep rich black color which is so popular for wedding cakes today, such as details for stringwork or embroidery work. For example, the Black Tie Affair Cake is topped with black buttercream cornelli lace. If you have added too much black color in the beginning and your buttercream seems to have somewhat of a bitter taste, I suggest adding either 2 tablespoons of cocoa or a flavoring such as cherry or orange, about 1 teaspoon, to 2 cups of icing.
