I don't think so unless you want black or you start with white chocolate.

You need to use oil based colourings - Wilton does some called candy colours, or you can use Americolor Flo-coat (they sell it on here) with regular colourings - hope that helps!

Are you talking about candy or icing? They sell special colors for candy. You can't use regular icing coloring. I've never done it so I can't recommend where to buy.

Yes, you can color white chocolate by using coloring made specifically for candy making. If you Want to use Americolors, this site(CC) sells a product (I believe)called Flo-coat that you add to it to prevent your chocolate from clumping up. HTH
