Can food coloring be used in e-liquid to create the color desired, such as red, green, blue, purple, etc.etc. I wonder if it would affect the flavor? Has anyone tried? Does the vapor change colors as well?

I remember that when I was searching one of the many web sites I did indeed see it being sold under the DIY supplies. Now if I could just remember where...
Not a good idea to add something to your vape that is not necessary but if you must ecigexpress sells it and no it won't color the vapor
Thats too bad, I was going to go to my doctor for my annual physical next month, then take a deep hit right when he came in the room and blow out a green cloud.
I will ask here 
Can I use this for coloring my juice or ? As I see its Propylene Glycol based

Food coloring is far from "safe". Yes sure quite a few vendors (Makers of Pluid, and Tasty Vapor. + Others) Color their juice as a marketing scheme.
Here is an article I found while searching for food coloring side effects
Artificial Food Coloring Health Effects - Food Dyes and Additives - The Daily Green
I quote from the above article..
Still, the high-profile review by the FDA is focusing attention on the issue. So let's look at the Center for Science in the Public Interest's main arguments, set out in a 2010 report, Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks:
Cancer: Citrus Red 2, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2 and Green 3, — which include some of the most commonly used synthetic food dyes — have been identified as being, or being contaminated with, potential cancer-causing chemicals. The potential carcinogenity is largely based on small-scale animal testing in laboratories.
Allergies: Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 are known to trigger reactions in those with allergies.
Hyperactivity: In 2009, Britain asked food companies to phase out the use of most food dyes in children's food over concerns some studies had raised about their link to hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder and related health issues. (Other experts in the field have questioned the results of those studies.)
Of course that is eating food dyes. We don't know the effect of inhaling them.
Still, food dyes are GRAS - Generally Regarded as Safe. But at one time Cigerettes were considered safe. DDT, GMO, Agent Orange, etc.
BTW The vapor does not change color. Vapor is white because of the light going through the vapor molecules.
