not sure... maybe start with cornflower blue & a teeny teeny bit of grey?

This was from the Austin, Tx. show, I think. Maybe whoever took the photo would know who did the cake?

From the photo it looks more like a turquoise than blue, sure is a beautiful cake! Janice

Sorry, had a computer glitch and didn't get to finish. I bought Americolor in both turquoise and Teal, I'd probably start with one of those to try to get the color you want. Janice

One color chart I have says for turquoise use 6 parts sky blue 1 part lemon yellow. For teal, 9 parts sky blue and small amount of lemon yellow.

I haven't used Americolor. But when I looked at it I also thought sky blue or teal. I did a wilton teal color rose cake for nieces grad. It was darker than that. So I was leaning towards sky blue. I don't know if this will help icon_smile.gif I hope it does.
