I am working on Indian head cookies and the customer wants the face to be a redding bronze color. Any suggestions on how I can get this color.

I did mix wilton marroon with some brown but I am just not sure about it.

what about using the wilton bronze paste color? If it's too red you can add a little brown with it

Wilton has a copper, I'd use this, adding a LITTLE bit of red and brown at the time-let it sit for the color to fully develope, and then adjust if necessary...I'm sure you know, but the colors really deepen overnight icon_wink.gif

Thanks for the help. I am heading over to the Wilton store now to pick up the colors you both suggested.

I went to Wilton and they only have the copper color gel, not bronze.
I used the copper with a tint of brown and this is what it looks like.
