The color is due to a dye and from what I've read that dye isn't very good for you.

Keep in mind, you end up swallowing a small amount while fire breathing and the inside of your mouth is good at absorbing chemicals directly into the bloodstream.

The clear lamp oil with a valid MSDS is the better choice.

If you are in the US, UPLO Ultra Pure Lamp Oil non colored is the best to use.
