A solid textile-treating composition, comprising:
- (a) a water-soluble core comprising a water-soluble carrier;
- (b) a coating that at least partially covers the water-soluble core, the coating comprising
- (i) a water-soluble polymer;
- (ii) a colorant;
- and
- (iii) a colorant stabilizer that is an acid having a molecular weight of 1000 daltons or less;
- and
