I've been asked to do a cake in Lime icing...... for all you colour experts out there can anyone suggest how this is achieved?

I've never mixed colours before and don't really know where to start.

TIA

Hi, I made chartourse once... with lemon yellow, kelly green and a tiny touch of brown, BUT before I added the brown for the chartouse, it was a very vibrant lime green. So try 2 parts lemon yellow and 1 part kelly green. HTH and good luck

A light leaf green and a hint of yellow. But experiment first b4 making it final.

If you don't have the Americolor Electric Green which is Fantastic....you can use Wiltons leaf green with a bit of yellow.
