Steps:

• Combine the turmeric with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; gently simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a heatproof container.
• Combine the beets with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; gently simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool for 5 minutes, then strain into a heatproof container.
• Combine the cabbage with 2 1/2 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; gently simmer for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then strain half into a heatproof container and stir in the baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Strain the remaining liquid into a heatproof container and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add 6 egg whites to each container and let soak until the desired color (yellow, pink, lilac and teal), up to 1 hour. Drain the egg whites on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
• Meanwhile, transfer the yolks to a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until smooth and creamy. Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe swirly dollops of the mixture into each dyed white.

Steps:

• Mix the colors. To start is fairly easy; add some white gel food coloring into a small glass mixing bowl. If you need a very dark shade of grey, then start with the black food coloring as your base. Slowly add a few drops at a time to the white base and between each addition, mix the colors together using a toothpick or skewer.
• Test the color.Between every addition and mixing of colors, or even if you think you are close to getting the right color, you can test it on a piece of paper towel. To do this, simply take the toothpick with some color on it and softly paint it on the sheet of white kitchen towel.
• Use or store the coloring.Once you have achieved the desired shade of grey, you can either use it immediately, or you can store it for future use. To use it, slowly add a few drops of your homemade grey food coloring to the item you want to color. Mix before adding some more to get a darker color.To store the coloring, use your spatula to scrape out as much coloring as you can from the glass bowl and place it into the container of your choice. We prefer using old empty (and cleaned) food coloring bottles.
