Before Color Kitchen was a brand, it was an artist with allergies and a paintbrush.
Ashley grew up learning the hard way how much ingredients matter - and later, without really planning to, ended up bringing that same eye for color into the kitchen.

What’s one thing you’d want to ask Ashley about how Color Kitchen got started? Drop it below, and she’ll answer it herself! More of the story linked in bio.
As a child, Ashley discovered she had sensitivities to chemical additives. Raised by a nutritionist mom, she grew up paying close attention to what was actually in her food - and how it made her feel.
Long before Color Kitchen, Ashley had a background in the arts - and she put it to work making safe, plant-based paints. That company was called GLOB, and it sold across the US and internationally.
Then grocery stores started asking a different question: ‘What do you have for decorating food?’
And that question became COLOR KITCHEN.
Same instinct, new medium. Clean, plant-based color - made by someone who actually understands pigment, not just food science.
Ashley still tests every shade herself. Welcome to the (color) kitchen! Follow along and ask Ashley a question below!
