What makes Color It special
How custom color matching works
When you place a Color It order, our team uses professional color-matching technology to replicate your chosen Pantone shade on every candy shell. Send us a swatch, a Pantone code, or even a photo of your event decor, and we’ll create a sample batch for approval before producing your full order.
The candy coating process applies your custom color in thin, even layers over the chocolate core. We run quality checks throughout production to ensure color consistency across every batch. Most custom orders ship within 2-3 weeks of approval, though rush production is available for tight timelines.
Ordering quantities and packaging
Color It Candy Sixlets require a 5-pound minimum per color. That gives you approximately 1,200 individual pieces — enough to fill 40-50 favor bags or cover a large candy buffet station.
We package your candy in heat-sealed bags to preserve freshness and protect the color finish during shipping. For weddings and large events, consider ordering 10-15 pounds to ensure you have extras for display bowls and last-minute guests. Bulk orders over 50 pounds qualify for volume discounts — contact our events team for a quote.
Pairing colors for multi-tone displays
Many customers order two or three coordinating colors to create layered candy displays. Popular combinations include navy and gold for formal events, pastels for baby showers, and school colors for graduation parties.
The round shape of color it candy sixlets makes them ideal for mixing in clear containers — the spheres settle into attractive patterns without clumping. If you’re working with multiple colors, order at least 5 pounds of each shade so the ratios stay balanced across your display. The classic original Sixlets candy in their standard jewel tones also layer beautifully with custom colors when you want to stretch your budget without losing visual impact.

Common questions about Color It Candy Sixlets
The minimum order is 5 pounds per color, which gives you approximately 1,200 individual candy pieces. If you want multiple colors, you'll need to order at least 5 pounds of each shade.
This minimum ensures we can run a full production batch with consistent color throughout. For events needing smaller quantities, consider our ready-to-ship original Sixlets in standard colors.
Standard turnaround is 2-3 weeks from the time you approve your color sample. We produce a small test batch first and send you photos or physical samples to confirm the shade matches your expectations.
Once you approve, we begin full production and ship your order within 10-14 business days. Rush production is available for an additional fee if your event date is less than three weeks away.
We can match hundreds of Pantone colors across the spectrum. Very pale pastels and extremely dark shades sometimes require slight adjustments because of how candy coating accepts pigment.
Send us your Pantone code or a physical swatch and our color team will let you know if any modifications are needed. In most cases we achieve an exact match, and we always provide samples before producing your full order so you can approve the final shade.
Yes — the chocolate center is identical to our original Sixlets. Only the outer candy shell color changes when you order custom shades.
The milk chocolate inside is the same smooth, creamy formula we've used for years. The candy coating process adds your custom color without affecting the flavor, so you get the classic Sixlets taste in whatever hue your event needs.
The candy shell provides good heat resistance, but we recommend keeping your Sixlets in air-conditioned space until your event. Direct sunlight or temperatures above 85°F can soften the chocolate center.
For outdoor summer events, set up your candy display in shade and consider using cooler packs underneath serving bowls. We offer insulated shipping packaging for warm-weather deliveries to ensure your candy arrives in perfect condition.
Absolutely. We produce a color sample as part of every custom order process. You'll receive photos or a small physical sample of your chosen shade before we manufacture the full quantity.
If you want to see and taste the candy before committing to 5 pounds, you can order a 1-pound sample bag for a flat fee. The sample fee is credited toward your final order if you proceed with the full custom batch.
Your candy ships in heat-sealed bags to preserve freshness. For events, we offer additional packaging like clear favor bags, organza pouches, and small boxes that you can fill yourself.
We also provide personalized label printing if you want to add names, dates, or event logos to your candy packaging. Bulk orders can be packaged in individual portion bags for an additional per-bag fee, saving you assembly time before your event.
