Are my variables right for my science fair experiment?

Hello
My experiment is on candy chromatography. I'm trying to determine what color dyes are used to make the different color m&m candy. I have as my independent variable the dye solution. I have as my dependent variable the distance traveled
I think I pretty much understand the difference between independent and dependent variable, but I'm still not sure if my variables above are right.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you!
