Aside from using a ton of green (I think I read Wikton kellly green is what I should use) are there any other colors that can help make the grass green color?
Thanks!![/i]

I use Americolor mint green and leaf green to make a really vibrant grass green. About 2 drops of each to 1 cup of icing.

I've never had an issue with getting a good green, but I use the Americolor as well and mint and leaf are my favs too!

I like to add a bit of Wilton Juniper to tone the brightness down a bit and make it look more realistic

I used americolor forest green and a little leaf green for this grass...and I literally used 2 drops of forest and 1 drop of leaf green for about 3 cups of icing.
