Lakes come in all shapes and sizes....and colors??

a pigment is a solid that has color. A dye is a liquid  that has color. To make a solid color from a dye, a dye is used to color a solid substance.   The result.... is called a lake. One common substrate is aluminum hydroxide, ...antacid. Label as Red 40 Aluminum Lake. Lakes are common on the outside of candies and pills. Geees I like this book.
