Instructions
After boiling your eggs, do not peel them. Gently roll them around on a towel to create cracks in the shell, but you don't want to remove the shells. Just roll enough to crack the outer shell.
Add warm water to deep bowls or coffee mugs. Add about 1/4 teaspoon of gel/paste food coloring and stir/whisk until dissolved.
Place egg(s) into each of the bowls, making sure the eggs are covered with the water.
Place the bowls into the refrigerator to soak for several hours (roughly 4) or up to overnight.
Carefully peel eggs and rinse gently with cool water.

Notes
Liquid food coloring is not as vibrant as gel or paste food coloring.
You can find gel or paste food coloring online and in the cake decorating section of big box stores and craft stores
Plan ahead! These eggs have to sit and soak for several hours or even overnight.
