Yes! For pink, use beet juice. For yellow, use turmeric powder and water. For purple, use thawed-out frozen blueberry juice. For green, use blended up water and spinach.

You could hang some edible (yes, edible) flowers upside down by the stems until they've dried, then crush them into a powder. The brighter the flowers' color, the better.

If you're okay with the flavor, coffee or cocoa powder make excellent deep browns. If you don't like coffee or chocolate, molasses might work, but it's much too sweet for some people.

Put food coloring in the water, then boil the noodles. Alternatively, if you make your own noodles, you could mix the food coloring into the noodle dough.
