Do you have to use a brown icing color to get brown fondant.. or can you use cocoa powder?

Satin Ice makes a chocolate fondant. You can also make candy clay to make roses, etc.
You can make chocolate fondant buy adding 1 oz melted semi-sweet chocolate and 1 T of cocoa (dutch produces a more pronounced flavor.) It will color a normal batch of fondant just a bit, so you want to add brown gel color to get a deep chocolate color.
I found this past week that it takes a LOT of Wilton to color it brown. Someone else posted that the Americolor gels are best to use.
