Not sure curing is correct term. But was wondering if red colored MMF would get darker. I just colored all the fondant I need for my cake but the blue and red are a shade or two off the lego bricks I am trying to imitate. I used CK brand colors for both royal blue and red red if that helps.  I am willing to add color but not right now my hands are cramping.

The color does darken a bit over night, seems to get more intense and brighter.

JWasn't sure about fondant but know b'cream does for sure.  Also b'cream dries (on the cake) the same once it reaches it's deepest color but fondant dries just a bit lighter so you may want to go a bit darker when mixing up the color.
