You may have noticed, but here at Ministry of Colours we’re pretty enthusiastic about colour powder and one of the things we love most about it is how versatile it can be. From fundraising events to festivals to gender reveals, the possibilities are endless. But the versatility of colour powder doesn’t end there!
Beyond events, colour powder is perfect for photography and videography shoots, adding a fun and visual element to shots. As all of our colour powder products are non-toxic and made using natural ingredients, they’re perfectly safe to use in special effects make-up and set design too.
Whether you’re aiming to capture vibrant photographs or create stunning visuals in your scenes, colour powder is a safe and ideal way to transform projects into striking masterpieces. Let’s dive into the world of coloured FX powder and discover exactly how it can be used to enhance creative projects.
Using Colour Powder For Backgrounds & Visual Effects
If you’re looking to take a photography shoot to the next level, then using colour throwing powder to create visual backgrounds is the way to go. Whether you’re capturing portraits, group shots or doing some pet photography, incorporating vibrant bursts of colour can add a dynamic element to your images.
Or better yet, colour powder is great to use for videography projects due to the visual nature of the product. You can see the colour powder being thrown or exploding in real time to create striking bursts of colour across the screen. Using colour powder for video projects has become quite popular amongst music artists and has featured in a number of music videos in recent years.
A great example of this is Madeon’s music video for The City, which shows a group of people throwing colour bombs at each other across a city in slow-mo, creating amazing visuals and a rainbow of colours. Paramore’s Now music video is another great example of how colour powder can be used to create visual effects on video, with the different coloured powders being used to simulate blood in a battle.
On film shoots, colour powder can be used in pyrotechnics to create vibrant and dynamic visual effects across explosions in action scenes or celebration sequences to create striking moments on screen. Most colour powders are easy to clean by simply vacuuming everything up, wiping everything down or washing it all away with water, so there’s no need to worry about damaging a set.
Using Colour Powder In Set Design
By using colour powder in set design, filmmakers can add a bold and creative element to their scenes. For example, white colour powder can be used to replicate a snowy landscape, creating a textured and wintry scene with ease. Bright, colourful powders can also be used to create explosions or magical effects to make scenes more visually appealing.
Using Colour Powder For Make-Up & Clothing
Colour powder can also be used in photography and videography to create special effects make-up, or enhance clothing pieces to add dramatic effects to them. Red colour powder can be used to replicate blood for example whilst bright blues, greens and purples can be used to create fantasy style looks for sci-fi films.
It’s important to ensure that the type of colour powder being used is safe for skin and fabrics to avoid causing irritation or damage. Always check the ingredients to make sure the powder is non-toxic and made using natural materials.
The good news is that here at Ministry of Colours, all of our colour powder products are indeed non-toxic and made from natural ingredients!

We have 10 different high-quality colours available, from bright yellows, pinks and blues to neutral shades of white and black.
