I've always heard that the liquid food coloring will thin out your icing or fondant, and that's why gel is best.

I have done it and had no problems with the liquid. You may have to add a bit of powdered sugar when you kneed it in. Soft/light colors only take a drop or 2 of color and will work in nicely.
I don't suggest it, but if you are doing light colors, it might be fine. But if you want to do strong colors, you should use gel. I tried doing red on fondant with liquid food coloring and i had to use a lot of it, and then the fondant was hard to work with. It got sticky and it thinned. I had to repeatedly add powdered sugar, which in turn made the fondant lighter... Not good lol.
