If you look at the back of the packets at the ingredients, it lists the food colorings. The higher on the list the ingredient appears, the more of that ingredient there is. The flavor with the most yellow #6 is tangerine (if you can find it, I have not), peach mango has yellow #5 and #6 (and a little red #40). If you add that to your lemonade, you'll get a deeper yellow-approaching-orange. Also (and this may not help you given what you were trying to do, but lighter weight paper takes up dye better. Loose-leaf notebook paper ("bond paper") is 16lb compared to 20-25lb copy paper, and it dyes nicely. I found that when I dyed those pages, the blue lines dissolved into the dye bath, but the pink/red did not, and overdyed onto pages they overlapped.
I Kool-Aid dyed paper last night with dark cherry. I used one package and one cup water. I poured it on a large paper plate with high edges and did about 15 sheets. I soaked eat sheet for about 30 seconds. It came out a beautiful raspberry pink. I don't think the vinegar is needed and you may have had a chemical reaction using the metal pan and vinegar that washed out the color.

I just used the little packets no vinegar and mine worked perfectly

Interesting! Thank you for sharing that with me! I will definitely have to give it another try 😁
Hi 🖐🏻🤚🏻I loved watching your process!! The orange is my fav!! The watermelon and green apple was cool!! TFS💕😊🐚gracie
Thank you! I wish the colors had come out darker, but I still like the way they turned out 😊
Try adding yellow food coloring to boost the yellow color. That worked in another video I just watched.
