Best Answer

Coca-Cola is not actually green before coloring. This is a false rumor that has been widely distributed over social media and the internet.

The ingredients in coke are:

  • Carbonated Water
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Caramel Color
  • Phosphoric Acid
  • Natural Flavors
  • Caffeine

The only ingredient on this list that even has a color is caramel color. Without caramel coloring the coke would be clear.

The official Coca-Cola company website even states, "This is indeed just a rumor. Although the famous contour bottle is green, Coca-Cola has always been brown in color, since its start in 1886."

Adding a small amount of additional blue coloring can make the drink appear more blue than green. However, there is no way to negate the yellow tint that green has but blue does not. Adding the complementary color (purple) will not remove the yellow but only make the drink a dark brown or black.
