Goo Kit Colored Water

I've noticed over the past couple months since I made my favorite goo kit grande Purple/White, that the color of the water is slowly fading. It's in the basement, no sunlight or anything, and I think it's just the light bulb dulling the water color. I can get into it easy enough to redo the color. Just a pain. Anyone find any good color to use that isn't fading?

What did you use to color the water?

I thought the GooKit only sells color for the lava! :\

I have read (true or false, I dont know) that you dont want to use food coloring.

Though I have not heard an explaination why!

Any chance of the food coloring causing stains or rings on the inside of the globe?

I'll try something like you suggested Jim. Thanks. I use just regular old baking food coloring. They say you're not supposed to dye the water, but for the 10 drops of color or so, there is not even a slight bit of clouding. Just the dye is getting bleached fromt he buldb I think. No staining or anything likt that.
