1. I've got one cake that needs NAVY -- do they sell this color separately or do I need to make it? If so, how do I make it? It's for a fireman, so it's the kind of blue used on their seal.
2. Anyone ever heard of Palm Beach Coral? It's kind of like a burnt orange, so I'm told, but I've never seen it. Any ideas how to make it.
3. And finally, how do I make sage green?
TIA
S.
CC sells Americolor in navy. Can't help with the rest.
I need help making fuscia or hot pink BC, can anyone help?
when i make navy, i start with royal blue and add a little bit of rose until i get the desired color.
got this from wilton.com
Icing the Cake
Icing Color Chart
When mixing color always mix a small amount of color to experiment. Start with base color and then add very small amounts of secondary color. Be sure to mix enough color for the cakes to be decorated as it is difficult to match an exact color.
ANTIQUE GOLD Add just an extremely small touch of Leaf Green to Golden Yellow
AQUA Sky Blue and Leaf Green
AVOCADO Use Moss Green color
BLACK Our paste color or Royal Blue, Christmas Red, Orange and Lemon
CHARTREUSE 9 parts Lemon Yellow, 1 part Leaf Green
CORAL Creamy peach and a touch of pink or orange and a touch of pink.
FLESH Add just an extremely small touch of Copper to white icing. Ivory can also be used. Light pink with a small amount of brown.
GRAY Add just a touch of Black to white icing.
HUNTER GREEN Kelly Green and a touch of Black
JADE Leaf green, Royal Blue and a touch of Black
LAVENDER Pink and Violet

Well, you already got a lot of answers I see

Good luck!

My local high school's colors are navy and silver, so come graduation time, I do LOTS of navy! I really like Americolor Navy for coloring bc, but am still having a devil of time making navy fondant. Grrrr!
For sage green, I just use Wilton juniper or moss green.
As for the palm coral - any time I don't know what a color is, I ask the customer for a sample. You shouldn't be expected to read anyone's mind.
tyty - For hot pink, I mix Wilton pink with Americolor electric pink. Neither is deep enough on their own, but together, they're fabulous.

Thanks for your reply but I don't have Americolor electric pink. I ordered some new colors but I'm pretty sure that's not one of them. I can get the Wilton color. I will call the cake supply and see if they have the electric pink. If I can't get the electric pink is there another Wilton color I can use? I need to make this color very soon.

In that case, I'd suggest loading up on the Wilton pink. That's what I used to do before I discovered the Americolor electrics and it worked fine.
Thank you so much, I will contact the cake supply and see if they have the electric pink. I hope they do. I can pick it up when I get off work.
