I use Americolor soft pink. It turns into a hot pink. You would think soft pink would be extremely pale. Wrong it's perfect.

I use Wilton Rose. It works really well.

I use americolor's electric pink but if you do not have that try red, one drop at a time.

It all depends on the pink you have! Some are going to be a soft pink while others will be more vibrant. For a hot pink I always use either wilton rose or Americolor electric pink.

It depends on what brand of 'pink coloring' that you have. Wilton Pink has an orange undertone and won't give you a 'hot pink' no matter how much you add. Wilton Rose on the other hand makes a really pretty 'hot pink' without having to add a lot of color. Americolor electric pink works great as well.

I have only used Wilton's Rose and it worked ok. I did notice that Duff has a hot pink. I bought a box of 4 electric colors in Michaels but someone had stolen the pink out of it. I used the green and it was great.
