They usually come out an unappetizing grey.... like dryer lint.  Baking soda will help to fix the
color to a sort of corn-flower grey, but you may not want soda in your recipe.  If you plan to use
the masa for tortillas or baking, make sure you get the authentic stuff (nixtamal method, or
something similar I think).

Those nice blue corn chips you get in US supermarkets often contain food coloring, by the way.
