    cochineal = pink
    turmeric = yellow
    cocoa = brown (haha obviously)

    These are the only ones I know, but you can get them at your regular supermarket.

    Oh, just remembered - sometimes ppl use beetroot for pink colouring but I'm pretty sure you'd get a bit of beety taste with it.

    I know this is an old thread, but i thought I'd pop on with something I found in a search.
    They're called Hoppers natural colourings and they make sprinkles/100's and 1000's too, all with no artificial colours/preservatives.
    They are $6 a jar, but if you use them, then they're worth it.
