It really depends on what brand of food colouring you use and the amount.

Are you talking about bread form the store or bread you're baking from scratch? You can colour homemade bread with food colouring, just add it to the water in your mix.

Yes, you can dye white acrylic paint with food coloring, I just tried it because I was wondering the same thing and I need blue paint which I didn't have.

Does food coloring come out of hair?
It works great! But I would not use it all the time or on too much of your hair. I do it all the time! Just wash it out with water first until you can't see it much then use some soap. Hope this helps!

History of Coloring in Food
There is ample evidence that early civilizations introduced color into their food.Ancient Egyptians colored food yellow with saffron, and saffron is mentioned in Homer's Iliad, dating from 700 B.C.E. Pliny the Elder relates that wines were artificially colored in 400 B.C.E. Wealthy Romans ate white bread that had been whitened by adding alum to the flour.
Will food coloring change the color of potted plants?
No, food coloring will not change the color of potted plants. Plants get their color from pigments produced in their cells, and adding food coloring to the soil will not affect the plant's natural coloration.
Why will food coloring dissolve in water but not in oil?
Food coloring dissolves in water due to the fact that food coloring is actually an aqueous solution in the bottle. This means that the liquid is actually colored powder mixed in hot water to produce the food color. If you boiled off the liquid found in the bottle, you will find color powder left over. From there, you could add it back into a glass of water. It will dissolve because it dissociates when placed in water.
Matter exists in three states or phases: solid, liquid, and gas. A combination of the motion of molecules and their attraction for one another determines whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas. Adding heat energy increases the motion of molecules.Removing heat energy, or cooling, decreases the motion of molecules.
If heat is added to a solid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a solid to a liquid (Melting). If heat is added to a liquid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a liquid to a gas (Evaporation). If heat is removed from a gas, the molecules can slow down enough to change from a gas to a liquid (Condensation).
If heat is removed from a liquid, the molecules can slow down enough to change from a liquid to a solid (Freezing). Heat always moves from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.
Is food coloring in water a homogeneous mixture if so why?
Once the food coloring completely colors the water, yes. It is homogeneous because the mixture, a solution, has the same composition throughout.
How does adding food coloring affect the growth of sugar crystals?
