The colours are just standard Easter egg colours. They come in little tablets - dissolve one in 250 ml of cold water, add 2 tablespoons vinegar and leave the cooked, still hot egg in the solution for five minutes.
Some of my American friends have commented that they are more used to pastel colours. I guess we still have more of the whole fertility festival in our traditions - I can´t imagine Easter without vibrant, primary colours!
Edit: some people still use onion peel for yellow, red beet for red, red cabbage for purple, spinach for green. Only truly blue eggs can´t be easily achieved with natural dyes.
