Do you have any cocoa powder? It looks like maybe brown (can be acheived with brown color or cocoa powder) and a little orange, maybe.

Do you have any cocoa or baker's chocolate squares? If so.....add either of those to your buttercream and VOILA...chocolate buttercream. Hope this helps!

If you don't have cocoa, the closest color that sounds like it on the Wilton site is rust:
RUST: Orange, Red Red and Brown

you might want to play around with those.
