Silica gel is blue in colour. When the silica gel has soaked up a lot of moisture, the silica gel turns to pink. Once the silica gel turns pink it cannot adsorb any more moisture. It needs to be regenerated. This can be accomplished by heating it in an oven. The heat expels the moisture, the silica gel turns blue and becomes reusable

Silica gel is packaged in a fibrous material that is capable of withstanding normal handling and be able to breathe. This means that water molecules can pass through the material and be adsorbed by the silica gel. Ready to use silica gel is blue in colour.
