Changing yolk color at the source
When raising chickens, you can change the color of the yolks of the eggs they produce by controlling their diet. In particular, check the carotenoids or xanthophylls they eat.
Carotenoids are pigment molecules found in plants that are responsible for the orange of carrots, red of beets, yellow of marigolds, purple of cabbage, etc. such as BASF's Lucantin (R) Red and Lucantin (R) Yellow.
Natural foods also affect the color of the yolk. Yellows, oranges, reds, and possibly purple can be obtained, but for blues and greens you will likely need to resort to synthetic dyes.
