Yesterday I mixed some black Wilton food coloring into my MMF and it turned purple. That's all fine and dandy... except I need gray! What's going on here? How do I make my MMF gray? Is there some sort of secret? Thanks!
I would have to recommend using Americolor gels...I too have noticed that Wilton black does this.
Try adding more black and then adding a touch of Wilton white-white, if you have it on hand. I have used Wilton black gel and w/ some work and the white, I was able to get a nice gray out of it.

I didn't know wilton made white! Hmm.. interesting!
ick, never use Wilton colors. waste of air space.
Someone was just discussing grey fondant on some blog or something. To hold color better she did black and a touch of blue.
Everyone I know that uses MMF always has problems with coloring. They are constantly asking me how I get my colors so right on. I tell them to dump that MMF junk and go with the Satin Ice colors like I do...or, they can go ahead and keep wasting ingredients, materials and money because they insist on MMF. Gray is ALWAYS their biggest color issue. After two days and about $40 worth of MMF and color wasted, one of my friends came over and asked me to show her my secret. I took about $5 worth of white Satin Ice and maybe 3 cents worth of black Satin Ice and kneaded them together in front of her to the perfect shade of gray that she was looking for. I stuck it in a ziplock bag and gave it to her. She hasn't messed with MMF ever since. I know that a lot of people swear by MMF...but it's just not worth it to me.

It's a liquid for making icing whiter or lightening other colors. A little goes a long way. I purchased in 2 oz. pop top bottle.
BTW, I also switched to Americolor gel for black, although I still use Wilton for some other colors.
