Homemade Caramel Color For Pumpernickel Bread

If I make my own caramel color for pumpernickel bread does it need to be refrigerated with leftover coloring?  Since there isn't any preservative in it, I'm not sure.

no worries leaving it out,  Sugar is a preservative and doesn't spoil.  Since caramel has been boiled to death anything in the sugar is also now very dead.
