Despite having reporting good growth figures in food and pharmaceutical colors, and in a number of foreign regions, sales volume from the Color Group came offsetting the effect of that growth. During the third quarter, revenue by that segment dropped by 8.3% to $116.4, largely because of the lower demand for makeup during COVID-19. Segment’s revenue in the third quarter of last year was $127.0 million.
