"Crisco" for Passover

I would like to know if there is a product similar to "crisco" that is kosher for passover - margarine will not work because of it's yellow color.

    What are you planning on using Crisco for? Is color the only consideration or are there cooking properties that you need to worry about?

        The blocks of Passover margarine that I've always seen are a very close color match to Crisco, not yellowish at all.

          Yeah, Pesach margarine tends to be much whiter than regular. You can try coconut oil which is a solid at room temp but I dunno who makes it KP.
