Abstract
Polymeric orange colors are disclosed having a noncrosslinked organic polymer backbone to which is covalently bonded a plurality of chromophores having a particular anthrapyridine structure. The colors are represented structurally as ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from among hydrogen, halos, lower alkyls, lower alkoxies, nitros, and sulfonates; R.sub.3 is selected from hydrogen, alkyls and alkylsulfonates; R.sub.5 is a lower alkyl or lower alkyl sulfonate and R.sub.4 is a noncrosslinked organic polymer linking a plurality (k) of said anthrapyridines into a polymeric colorant. The polymeric colorants are especially useful as nonabsorbable orange colorants for edibles.
