If it is water based that could cause only some gastrointestinal signs, like vomiting, inappetence, diarrhoea. There’s really no specific amount or ‘toxic dose’ of paint that’s harmful. I would recommend anyway to get in touch with your veterinarian and discuss it.

I recommend to call the company who produces the food coloring. They will know if the product is safe to be ingested by pets or not. There are many different types of dyes and some of these are safe and others are not. That is why you must check. I hope this helps.
