Nike at her blog Thrive tells us how to make rainbow jello Easter eggs.

Lastly, here are eggs patterned with herb leaves and colored with vegetables.

Pearl explains in her post, "Easter Eggs – Elegant Ideas For Your Easter Eggs!," how to use the vegetables to color the eggs. The colors break down thus:Spinach = Pale GreenShe has suggestions for other, egg-related projects as well.
Hibiscus tea = Green
Blackberries = Deep Purple
