I have never used gel food coloring. I use paste food coloring (never liquid) because it’s more vivid and lasts FOREVER. You can get it at Michaels using a coupon.

But here is Martha Stewart’s Food Coloring 101

Liquid Gel

Liquid gel gives a deep, rich color without thinning and blends well. It is available online and in specialty stores.

Liquid

Liquid is the most familiar form of food coloring. It gives the weakest color compared to other types of food coloring and, because of its liquid consistency, it will thin out whatever it is being mixed with.

Gel-Paste

Gel-paste gives deeper, more vivid colors than gel or liquid. It is very concentrated and should be used in very small quantities.

Powdered Food Coloring

Powdered food coloring is very concentrated. It can be combined with sugar to decorate cookies, and with lemon extract to paint onto iced cookies (just roll cookies in it to color them).
