Yellow is such a pretty shade and is also amongst the most popular colours on Holi. You can easily prepare this colour in more than one way. You can simply beat the sandalwood stick into powder and mix it with rosewater. It will give you a paste that can be used for Holi celebrations. The other way to prepare this colour is by sun-drying the orange peels for around two to three days. Make sure that you cover them with a thin piece of cloth. Once they are dried completely, you can grind them to prepare a fine powdered yellow colour. You can also take yellow marigold flowers and boil them to obtain the liquid form of the colour.

If you’re wondering how to make natural and safe colours from flowers, then you should note that it is completely safe. You can always use coloured flowers to obtain the same shade. For a pretty pink shade, you could also use beetroots. You can either soak them in water for a few hours or sun dry them for 2-3 days. Soaking in water will provide you liquid shade, whereas the latter will give you a powder. If you’re soaking beetroots in water, you should consider leaving the mixture untouched overnight. It will ensure that you get the most perfect shade of pink. You can even mix gram flour to the beetroots to get the desired shade and dilute the mixture.
