I'm making my first hand painted cake. I'm using gel food colors(only thing I was able to find in town) They only come in primary colors. But I'm brain dead and can't remeber what colors to mix to get what. brown, black, lt. green, dark green and so on. Can anyone help me or do you know of a web site that tells. Any help please.
I did a quick search and found this.

i have found that if i'm not sure what colors i need to mix...i use a dish and mix a bit of the colors together until i get what i want. i may need to adjust a bit once i use those colors in the actual icing, but it gives me a good starting point.
kind of like mixing paints on an easel before actually painting.
Here are somemore colors.....
ANTIQUE GOLD Add just an extremely small touch of Leaf Green to Golden Yellow
AQUA Sky Blue and Leaf Green
AVOCADO Use Moss Green color
