I need help on how to make a green icing that is not leaf green or lime green. The only way I know to describe it is the August birthstone Peridot. Any ideas on how to make this color?
what brand of colors do you have to work w/?
i'd start w/ a lime green and add kelly green to it and maybe even a touch of yellow
(just remember this advice is coming from a man....and men are not as color savy as women supposedly...but hey we try! "biege" -- easy answer!)
hiya jenn,
anytime you want to tone down green and still have it looking fresh and vibrant, never, ever, add black, all black does is deaden a color, You want to add the colors complement, in your case you want to tone down the green, so the opposite of green is red, add just a touch of red and see how that works. It works really well to add just a touch of violet to yellow to make a lovely golden shade too. Just remember that to tone down a color you add it's complement or it's opposite on the color wheel.
Hope this helps
