I made the easy MMF yesterday and so far I love it. I have colored two small batches for a cake. I used Americolor Electric Green and Electric Blue. My question is this, does the color deepen and darken like with buttercream?
I was surprised how easy it was to work the color in. It went much faster and was easy than I expected.

hi darkchocolate! its me again, marj...umm..is it easy to use the americolor gels? i am waiting for mine to be delivered and i wonder if i will have a hard time using it..do i have to get color flo? and about your question.. based on my experience with wilton color gels, i think it would not change unless as what we had discussed yersterday, you exposed it to direct sunlight or flourescent light.. 
... maybe i am wrong, so maybe somebody can tell us..so here's a bump! 
hi marj,
I love my Americolor gels so far and I don't use Color Flo. I don't even have any Color Flo. Like I said in my post I was surprised how easily the Americolor gels colored the MMF. I was expecting it to take a while and really have to kneed the MMF but it was almost effortless. Much easier than making the Easy MMF thats for sure. My arm got a real work out. Thanks for letting me know about the light (sunlight and flourescent).
Misdawn and shrek, thank you for letting me know about the yellow turning orange. That is a scary thought. Lesson learned I guess is not to color it to far inadvance.

Clo Flo is for coloring chocolate with regular gel colors. It keeps the chocolate from seizing up.
I add my color (I use Americolors) when the marshmallows are melted, mix to get the color I want then add to the powdered sugar. I haven't had a problemwith MMF changing colors. I wrap it in plastic wrap then foil then put in a plastic baggie.
