Isn't annatto sold as a granular solid? Red food coloring
is a liquid. You'll have to extract the annatto color
somehow. I believe this is normally done by frying the
annatto in oil. Red food coloring is a water-based liquid,
not oil-based. This will causes a difference in the way
it is handled.

I think the answer to your question is yes, but with
an adaptation of the normal method to accommodate the
differences between annatto and red food coloring.
