Generally speaking food coloring is water base. And the reason you are flushing the brake system is to rid the bake fluid of the water it has absorbed over time. Brake fluid is pretty much hygroscopic and absorbs water, water lowers the boiling point of brake fluid and allows it to attack the inside of the brake system
