When using powder colours, it's a good idea to mix it the night before, as it takes a while to settle. Then give it another mix. If you can't do that, it's best to use paste to colour the icing.

many colors require more time to 'dissolve'. when you are using bright or strong colors, it is best to make the icing and let it sit, even overnight, then re-beat it to blend the color.

I have found that paste is the best to use.
