Brown Fondant How Do I?

How do I color MMF brown? I try adding the brown color paste but it almost looks like a old pink nothing like brown, I really want to use chocolate fondant for the darker brwon but I still can make a lighter brwon.
I'll try that, tomorrow I'll getthe americolor at my local cake shop.
you can just lighten choc fondant by adding white fondant to it so that you have different shades of brown.
But for a brown or black fondant, it's best to start with choc fondant, otherwise it's a lot of colour being used and it tends to break down the fondant
I just made some chocolate MMF using the recipe here for MMF but adding 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate by Baker's to the melted marshmallow mixture before adding the sugar. Haven't used it yet but looks like it worked. I didn't add as much sugar as I usually do though.
I just made some chocolate MMF yesterday for DH's bday cake. I honestly cannot tell you amounts of what I used since I kinda eyeballed it, but I just added cocoa powder in place of some of the powdered sugar. It worked great and it came out a deep brown and I did not have to add any color paste.
Good luck.
