I have been trying to mix the colour burgundy and it's not dark enough. Looks like a ligher version of what i need. I am using buttercream.

I am using red and brown are these the right colours to make Burgundy???

Are you looking for the color in my avatar? Or perhaps the color of these roses? http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1189653

My avatar is Americolor Maroon with a touch of Red Red and Americolor Black.

My roses are Americolor Red Red and Black.
