Actually it was a baby only at the age of 1 who accidentally discovered it trying to make homemade crayons with her mother. Answer Archaeologists believe food colors likely emerged around 1500BC. Saffron is mentioned as a colorant in Homer's Iliad, and Pliny the Elder remarks that wines were artificially colored in 400BC.

Saffron has long been used to give a yellow tint to rice, and squid ink gives pasta a black appearance. Other popular natural colorants have included paprika, turmeric, beet extract and petals of various flowers.
