1ºI don’t buy brown eggs for their color. They are the only ones that are free range and organic.

According to Davidpasture.com…

“The browns eggs are the only ones that are branded as free-range and organic. People don’t buy them for their color. And as for yolk color, that’s directly related to diet. Unfortunately, companies are now using additives to get a darker yoke. Ingredients like marigold, capsicum, paprika, and synthetic additives can be added to a hen's diet to influence the resulting color of the egg yolk. Today, even a chicken raised its entire life indoors can produce a deep orange yolk thanks to these practices. These additives are also given to commercial shrimp, fish, and meat chickens to make the color of their skin more appealing in some regions.”-see full article below
