We know it’s officially the joyful week leading up to our favourite festival, Holi, when the entire atmosphere is decked out in a variety of bright colours and all we can think about is “Gujiyas.” Holi falls on March 25. We understand that you are all occupied with tidying your lovely home or attempting to craft precisely shaped “Gujiyas.” Although you seem excited about the celebration, it’s clear that you’re also concerned about the harmful chemicals in the Holi paints that could damage your skin. You are in for a real treat if you think that Holi is the time to go all out and you need a quick fix regarding the colors. This is a list of easy ways to create natural colors for Holi at home, so you won’t have to think of any reasons why you can’t be creative with color. Isn’t that awesome?
Red
It’s very simple to prepare organic Holi colors at home; let’s start with the most popular. The stunning Hibiscus flower can be used to create the passionate red color. To make a fine powder, just dry the flowers, blend them, and add gram flour.
Yellow
Every household has turmeric, which is the best ingredient to make herbal Holi colors at home. However, you will need the turmeric root and will need to grind it in order to make the Holi colors. Even the powdered Haldi you have in your kitchen can be used. To get the ideal shade of yellow, take two tablespoons of Haldi powder and add one tablespoon of gram flour to it.
Green
Your green color is ready to go when you take some gram flour, rose water, and henna powder.
Magenta
The best plant for creating magenta color is beetroot. Beetroot should be soaked in water, boiled, and then left overnight. You can use it in place of wet colors the following day.
Blue
Bring home the blue hibiscus flowers and dry them to make a powder. You can now add flour to it to get a pleasing blue color.
Purple
Grind four to five black carrots in a mixer grinder. Now, add one cup cornflour to it to achieve the desired purple color.
Orange
To create the color orange, you will need a well-known flower known as the Flame of the Forest. Make a fine powder after the petals have dried. Add the flour now and thoroughly combine. As an alternative, you can soak saffron in water to create a wet color.
