When you mean normal food colouring do you mean the liquid that you buy from the supermarkets? If so this will not work as there is too much liquid and it will ruin the fondant and it is also not strong enough to colour.

I have am currently attending cake decorating classes, and you can actually use ordinary liquid food colouring for colouring fondant , you just get a more intense colour with the gels. I have use the liquid successfully several times.

I always use liquid. Just use extra icing sugar when kneading the colour in to allow for it. The colours come out just fine, perhaps not as good as gel however.
