Saffron is expensive. I think you're thinking of turmeric. VERY yellow. It can be used as a natural food dye, and it is used as such here in Japan. Most candy here does not have the artificial food colors. They use a lot of flower petals such as gardenias for coloring candy. It's why Japanese candy tends to have more pastel colors rather than the strong, bold, dark candy colors in the USA. Frankly, I cannot eat American candy anymore since I've lived here so long. Someone gave me some Starburst and while I used to like that candy just 15 years ago, I can't stand it anymore.
Saffron, natural I believe? And wow is it yellow
