I thought I saw a teracotta color somewhere. Go to chefmaster or americolor site and see. chefmaster email is: www.bkcompany.com.
I know that if you mix violet and a tiny bit of christmas red you should get rust. If you mix sky blue to leaf green you will get rust and if you add lemon Yellow to a small amount of leaf green and a tiny amount of coal black you will get coral. The first color is the largest amount of the 3 and so on you have to blend the colors first before you add to the BC. Try this. I never have. I am getting this from a color wheel that I from chefmaster.

You can buy terra cotta paste or gel color.

Or you can make it using a medium brown and adding a bit of red to it until you achieve the desired shade.

I just had to get this color for a basketball cake I did. Mix red and yellow and a touch of brown. Check my cake photos for the color I achieved.
