First, directions on how to cook hard boiled eggs so the yolk doesn't turn green. Personally, I never add the salt and vinegar to the water before boiling, but then maybe that's why my eggs don't always turn out...LOL!
Then directions on how to make tinted deviled eggs:

When you cook your eggs, be sure they don't boil:
Place eggs in single layer in saucepan. Cover completely with cold water and add a large amount of salt, 2 tablespoons and about 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, keeping covered and allow to sit undisturbed for 25 minutes. Drain water and plunge eggs into ice water. (The yolks will turn out bright yellow with no green ring). Cool completely before peeling and remove yolks. Mash yolks using your fingers and stir in remaining ingredients until smooth. Fill eggs (using a pastry bag) with yolk mixture.

**Color eggs after shelling them and removing the yolk for a festive presentation:

For each color bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vinegar and liquid food color as desired. Carefully drop in cooked egg white and leave it in the water until it reaches the color you want (color will become more intense out of the water). Drain well on a rack until cool and fill.
