I keep trying to get hot pink and it keeps fading to medium pink! I even airbrushed a hot pink tier (pink airbrush over as deep pink fondant as I could get) this weekend and it looked great...by the next day it looked back to medium pink. I've been mostly using Americolor electric pink. I can get it a deeper color if I add deep pink and fuschia, but then the fuschia adds a violet hue to the pink, which I really do not want (did that for another cake and it gave me a nice deep pink but by the next day it looked way too purple.)
I'm using FondX....
Any ideas?
Nearly every pink colorant will fade when exposed to light.
I've had less fading with pre-colored pinks like FondX and Fondarific/Duff's.
When I add coloring to white, I make my basic pink using ChefMaster's No Fade Pink and then add touches of blue or orange to change the shade. I don't see much fade when I do it this way.

I haven't heard of no-fade pink...hm.
The funny thing is I have had the best luck getting a hot pink color using Americolor soft pink. I tried deep pink and I didn't like how it turned out. I have never had the color fade yet at least. You might give it a shot. I could have gone darker but we were trying to match an invitation. http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1686076
