I need to make a dark burgandy color. Almost a wine burgandy any idea how to get that with the basic colors I already have. Red and brown? I just am not sure. It is for roses.

if you're mixing colors...definitely red, some purple, black...brown may give you a more brick color red.

I just did this yesterday and thanks to MelC (I think) I got the perfect color! I used a LOT of the WIlton Burgandy, mixed with a little bit of cocoa powder and a tiny bit of black. It looked kind of hot-pinky, but after letting it sit for about 2 hours, it was PERFECT! I'll try to post a picture later tonight.
