Use gel (paste) food colours. Don't use liquid colours because they make the sugar paste sticky and hard to work with.

I usually use Wilton and Sugarflair brands. But there's many other good ones out there. If you are not sure which brands to choose, go through online reviews.
If the paste is too dark, add some white paste.
