I don't use royal icing very much, but when I have, I have always just used white. If I add color to it, will it thin out?

As long as you have the color gels, it will not thin it down at all.

If you are making a very deep color, it might thin it a bit, but you can always add a little confectioner's sugar to stiffen it up again.
