Line 309:
** Natural mint flavoring has no color, but consumers have come to expect mint-flavored foods to be colored green. Only gourmet mint foods will abstain from doing this, allowing consumers to feel proud that they don't need the coloring.
*** The exception is peppermint sweets, which are usually white.
*** In ice cream at least, part of the reason that they have mint green is because green is quite visible - if you notice, other than Pistachio, lime sherbert, or homebrew flavours (Such as lime ice cream), it's the only green ice cream flavour there. There have been a few [https://web.archive.org/web/20130916002758/http://notalwaysright.com/blurgh-is-right/54 customers]{{broken link}} surprised by this, and if you ask around at an ice cream place that ''doesn't'' use food colouring, you'll probably hear a few stories about how a customer or new employee mistook the mint for Vanilla.
** Strawberry-flavored food is always colored pink.
** Most consumers expect raspberry flavoring to be red, but [[Reality Is Unrealistic|strains of dark blue raspberries]] exist, leading to some (often brightly) blue-colored raspberry flavors.
