My local fancy grocer has bins of loose spices, including salts of various colors and descriptions. A few years ago I was curious and did a bit of a deep dive on their supplier, to be disappointed when I learned that all their special salts were artificially colored. Their salts, reflecting geographic names, were named so because the company named the colors after the location – not because the salts came from those locations.

Well that’s quite misleading marketing
