I'm not sure because I've never mixed it before, but my guess would be orange with a touch of brown and a touch of red. Good luck!

Just did a search on this website for Terracotta and found out that Americolor has a terracota color that is almost perfect. Depending on how much you put in and the BC base you are using you either have to add a little orange or brown or it might be perfect.

Hope this helps! icon_biggrin.gif

Great! You guys are a lifesaver! I'm doing a rock climbing cake for a friend of mine's daughter's birthday with a terracotta mountain!

Thanks again for your help!

I would mix 3 parts orange to 1 small part red and maybe just a tiny touch of brown if the red and orange don't work. Or bring orange with a tiny bit of brown. If you play with it, it will come out right and you won't have to buy another color, I make my own custom colors all the time and they always turn out how I want then to with a little this and that. Good Luck!

http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/coloring/colormixingchart.htm This link takes you to a color mixing guide. While it doesn't have terracotta it does have rust which might be close to what you want.
