Letting foods be the color that they are naturally?

Yes, the skins and peelings of many vegetables and fruits provide a natural alternativee to commercial food dyes.
Many Indian cultures use food dyes and they can be purchased in East Indian food stores. Only a few colors predominate. I'm surprised that you Mahung 99 (or whatever) didn't know that with your Indian dietician wife. Did she check your answer?

Yes....I know that if you want the color "yellow" you can use zaffaron (saffaron) and some like to use onion outside layers to make the darker more brown look. Flowers can make a good natural dye.

Fruit and veggie based dyes. Beets give a nice red.

Sure, beet juice is good.
I just made play dough for my kids and made it orange colour using annatto powder I got at the local grocery store. Turmeric, beets, carrots,... basically anything colourful.

Yeah, don't dye them.
Sorry to sound smart alecky, but I just don't why it's necessary to use them at all.
