Looking for festival colours you can actually trust? Cock Colours is an Indian colour brand from Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, that has been making Holi colours, gulal and rangoli since 1951. Through the Cock Colours online shop, you can buy skin-friendly gulal, the Decora rangoli range and Fun Machines pichkaris directly from the manufacturer, in single packs or in bulk.
Think about the best festival memories you have. Chances are, colour is somewhere in the picture. A courtyard covered in pink and green gulal. A rangoli at the door that took your mother two hours and got more compliments than the food. A cousin who ambushed everyone with a pichkari before breakfast. That's exactly the kind of moment Cock Colours has been part of for more than seven decades.
In this guide, we'll walk you through everything the brand offers, which product suits which occasion, and a few tips to get the most out of your colours.
Who Is Cock Colours?
Cock Colours started in 1951 in Hathras, a town long known for its colour-making tradition. Over the years, the brand has grown into one of India's largest manufacturers and exporters of Holi colours, rangoli colours and temple gulal, with more than 250 shades in its range.
Today, you'll find Cock Colours products at over 10,000 dealers and distributors across India, on leading marketplaces like Amazon, and in countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE. The brand is run by Garg Global Innovative Limited. You can read the full story on the About Us page.
What hasn't changed since the early days is the focus: colours that are bright, safe and made for celebrating together.
What Can You Buy at the Cock Colours Online Shop?
The Cock Colours shop keeps things simple with three main ranges:
- Gulal for Holi, pooja and temple celebrations
- Decora Rangoli for festival floor art and doorway designs
- Fun Machines Pichkaris for splashing water and colour during Holi
Every product page lists the pack size and contents, so you know exactly what you're getting before you add it to your basket.
Gulal and Holi Colours: Safe, Bright and Easy to Wash
Let's be honest. Many of us grew up with Holi colours that left skin itchy and hair stained for a week. Cock Colours set out to fix that.
The brand's organic gulal range is made with herbal ingredients such as turmeric, neem and beetroot, and is free from heavy metals and harsh synthetic dyes. Every batch goes through quality checks for safety, consistency and colour strength. The result is gulal that looks vivid on camera, feels soft on the skin and washes off with mild soap and lukewarm water.
The colours are also biodegradable, which means your celebration doesn't leave a mess for the environment to deal with afterwards.
A quick tip: before you step out to play, apply some moisturiser on your skin and oil your hair. It creates a light barrier, so colours come off even faster. Keep gulal away from your eyes and mouth, especially with little ones.
If you're buying colours for a mandir or religious event, take a look at the dedicated Temple Gulal range as well.
Decora Rangoli Range: Beautiful Designs Without the Stress
Not everyone has a steady hand for freehand rangoli, and that's completely okay. The Decora rangoli collection is designed to make floor art easy, neat and fun, whether you're a first-timer or a regular. The colours are non-toxic and sweep up easily once the festival is over.
Here's what's currently in the range:
Decora Magic Rangoli Maker (₹495)
The Decora Magic Rangoli Maker is the easiest way to get a perfect design in minutes. Each kit comes with one maker, four stencils and four assorted colour pouches. You simply stamp the pattern and fill in the colours. It's ideal for Diwali, Navratri, Pongal and daily pooja, and kids absolutely love helping with it.
Decora Rangoli Powder Pouch, Pack of 10 (₹219)
Prefer the classic way? The Decora Rangoli Powder Pouch gives you ten pouches of bright rangoli colour in one box. It works well for traditional freehand designs and larger patterns at entrances and courtyards.
Decora Rangoli Easy Bottle, 10 Pcs (₹288)
The Decora Rangoli Easy Bottle is made for controlled, clean lines. Just squeeze and draw. It's a great pick for outlines, borders and fine details where fingers usually struggle.
How to make your rangoli look professional: start with one simple shape in the centre, then build outward one colour at a time. Use the easy bottle for outlines first, then fill in with powder. Small, patient steps always beat rushing.
Fun Machines Pichkaris: Where the Holi Fun Really Begins
No Holi is complete without a pichkari. The Fun Machines range brings the playful side of the festival home, whether it's for kids running around the society compound or grown-ups who never really stopped being kids.
Pair your pichkari with Cock Colours gulal for a dry-and-wet Holi that keeps everyone laughing. After the celebrations, rinse the pichkari with clean water and let it dry fully before storing it, so it's ready for next year. And for younger children, a little adult supervision always keeps the fun safe.
How to Choose the Right Product for Your Celebration
Not sure where to start? Here's a simple way to decide:
- Playing Holi with family and friends? Go for organic gulal and a Fun Machines pichkari.
- Decorating for Diwali or a pooja? The Decora Magic Rangoli Maker is your quickest route to a neat design.
- Making large or traditional rangoli? Combine Decora Powder Pouches with Easy Bottles for fill and detail.
