different colors of wine...

okay, i had a thought last night, as i gazed deep into the soft, red depths of my raspberry melomel as i swished it around in my glass.

i want to make a wine for every color of the rainbow. i know it can be done, but the question is how?

reds and pinks could be covered with strawberries, watermelon, raspberries, red grapes, etc.

yellows from dandelions and kvass (i'm making a rather odd-smelling garlic bread/potato yellowy kvass right now), maybe peaches.

browns, blacks, ambers, yellows from different beers, coffee wine, meads, blackberries.

blue from blueberries? (bilberries, etc.)

how about greens? i could make absinthe, but how about an actual wine?

any more suggestions? i figure a dozen colors slowly gradating from one end of the spectrum to the other would be a delicious eye treat to wake up to every morning.. =)

i appreciate in advance any help with this playful little idea.

and food coloring is OUT of the question! +)

Mint wines finish almost clear (colorless).

I made a green wine once with apple-mint jelly. I used 3 jars of jelly and a whole bunch of pectic enzyme to break down the jell and finished with a gallon of wine. I really tasted great, but the color was a bit disconcerting.

Both blueberry and bilberry finish as reddish-purple, not blue. Can't help you with that one.
