infamous Color Cloud. Join us as we
welcome all Color Runners to the finish
Festival. Everyone throwing colors into
the air at the same time creates a
spectacular sight. This is where you’ll
want to use the color pack you received
as you crossed the finish line.
Hopefully you were able to resist
throwing it for this long. Trust us, it’s
worth the wait. If you have used, lost or
forgotten your personal Color Pack

we will have a limited quantity for sale at
the Festival! First come, first served!
Cash only please.
Colors
The colors used are plant-based, non-
toxic, and environmentally-friendly. Made
from food-grade cornstarch, you could
even eat them (not that we suggest
that!). All these are toxic and can give
people skin allergies, irritated nose or
lungs and eye irritation. It´s not only
unhealthy for people and animals, also for
the environment it’s pollution.
Why we only use eco-friendly Colors?
Because “The Color Run India™” is
more fun and harmless with organic
Colors. Enjoy the natural colors for Run
and don’t worry about skin allergies,
irritation or pollution! Make your color
run, festival and event success full with
our eco-friendly Colors.
