This research has the objective To study methods for extracting dyes from the Monascus fungus. To apply colors obtained from microorganisms to replace synthetic colors. Cerebukantang rice was fermented with the fungus Monascus sp. YRU01 for 14 days and then extracted with different solvents, including ethanol, 70 percent concentration, at a ratio of 1 gram of red rice to 5 milliliters of solvent. Methanol, 99.8% concentration, 50% methanol, and water in a ratio of 2 grams of red rice to 2 milliliters of solvent, then shaken at 200 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature. It was then centrifuged at 5,000 rpm at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and then measured for light absorbance at wavelengths 400 (yellow substance) 470 (orange substance) 500 (red substance) 494
