Does the colour go through the shell?

The color does not go through the shell if the shell is intact. But if there is a slightest crack, or if the egg cracks during boiling, there will be brown veining on the white part of the egg, and some of the yellow color will seep through as well.
As I mentioned above, I don't eat these eggs, but use them as decoration.

Awesome idea! Would it work with red onion skins too? Also, does it change the flavor of the egg? I can't imagine it would, but maybe.

The red onion skins work as well, but the color is different, sort of dusty blue.
I don't eat these eggs, since they have been boiled for thirty minutes, but I don't think the flavor would go through the shell. I treat these as decoration.
