any advice on achieving the color of a basketball? I was thinking red, yellow and a hint of brown. It is not working just yet, looking for some pointers.
thanks,
kym

The directions that come with the Wilton's sports ball say to use "terra cotta" coloring. I finally found some and I wasn't able to get basketball orange. I ended up using orange and brown (red made it too pinkish).

I use the regular "Halloween" orange with a hint of brown... I was afraid if I played with the red too much it would come out salmon icon_redface.gif
