Ok I am making royal icing to go on sugar cookies. I used chefmaster coal black and I have a really dark green color. I double checked the label in case the cap got on wrong bottle. It say coal black. I scooped out some more color after stirring container and the color inside is green. (Philadelphia Eagles green) SO now what can I add to make it black? I tried adding black airbrush color but that didn't really help and started to thin icing. Any suggestions??? I am in a serious pinch here.
Thanks
How about adding some red red to it. Green is the combo of blue and yellow, red is its opposits. The combo of all three colors is black. HTH
Will a royal blue maybe cancel out the green? It might if I hadn't already flavored the icing with Lorianne's blackberry oil. I am afraid the flavors might fight each other but thanks for the heads up
The best tip any one has shared is start with chocloate icing & add black coloring to it.Hope this helps works like charm.
Use white icing with a combination of royal blue, red, orange and lemon. Or, start with a dark brown color or chocolate icing (made with melted chocolate and/or black or Dutch process cocoa) and add black. I Just keep adding more black color SLOWLY until you reach your desired color. Remember colors darken as they sit.
For small amounts of black icing (for piping buttons, dots, etc) you can just add enough black food coloring to your white icing to create black.
I looked this up!

Thanks for your help. I now have brown icing and I am just going to use that for the cookies. I am too tired to truly care they are just for coworkers. Oh and I am out of white icing so thats why I am giving up. Thanks again for trying to help so quickly!
I will post pics late but it came out really dark brown close enough to black. I did this spur of the moment so thats what happens whne you aren't prepared. Thanks again.
I make some Halloween cupcakes this weekend. I needed black for dracula's hair and some other small stuff. When I don't need much black - I just buy the pre-made tubes of frosting (Wilton or Betty Crocker). Its true black. I can't seem to make black frosting either and the more coloring you use the weirder the frosting tastes.
