Okay, I've done some color matching, but not a ton. I would add red to violet and see what I get. Good luck.

I would start with mauve or dusty rose paste/gel color.

That does look like mauve to me. On the wilton chart, it says to use a "touch of burgandy with very little black"

If you have to make a bunch, probably better to color it all at once because it might be hard to match later.

Thanks a bunch everyone, I'm going to be painting hyacinths and she wants me to try to match the color, but it doesn't have to be exact.. and I'm going to dust them afterwards icon_smile.gif
