Hi! Nicotine testing kits say to avoid using colored liquids. So should I then just test the nicotine base/dilutant prior to adding flavor concentrates? Does anyone out there test colored mixes successfully on a regular basis?

I do not test anything. What for? I buy nic from reputable vendors, I believe them. What to test?
The titration method works based on the total amount of nicotine. It doesn't matter how strong or weak the concentration is, or how much substance is there overall, only how much nicotine is in it. So if you have a heavily-colored liquid, you can just add more distilled water to dilute the color, and then add more blue so you can still see the reaction. Since the total amount of nicotine will be the same (because you didn't add any additional e-liquid), then the amount of acid required to fully titrate the mixture and turn the blue into yellow should be the same as well, even with the additional water.
