If it is only a color, it is permissible to eat it as long as it is not harmful!

But if there is even so little of real gold or silver, it is prohibited to consume it.

My query is about edible silver/gold foil used on the Indian sweets. Are we Muslims allowed to eat them? My parents are Hindu. On Diwali people gift my family(parents) sweets with that silver foil on top. I read on islamqa that Muslims can accept the veg food on their festival. Correct me if I’m wrong. If silver foil is haram, can I remove it and eat the sweets?
