: I was wondering if it is me or if this icing just does not color well. If it does not then what can I do to get deeper colors besides not using it? If it is me, then please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

You can get a deeper color with IMBC if you work ahead. I use Americolor gel colors. After mixing the color into the buttercream let it sit at room temp for several hours or, preferably, over night. You'll find that when you go back to the buttercream it will have darkened significantly.
