Anyone have a link to a good color chart to know what colors to mix to get another color.
Specifically (today anyway) I'm trying to get maroon. I have Americolor colors - but no maroon. I've mixed up some red and can't decide if it's brown or purple that I need to add...or both.
The consensus on the last thread about mixing maroon was that you add brown.
Look in the archives, and use the word Maroon as the key word in title only, and it should come up near the beginning. I think it was posted in the past two weeks.
I usually refer to the color chart on the s u g a r c r a f t .com website
try mixing 4 parts red red and 2 parts burgundy
hope that helps!
here's one.

Does anyone have a chart that shows the colors? I was thinking there was one that has 2 rows of rectangles that shows the color you're trying to achieve and a description in the middle of the colored rectangle (I think it was in Spanish--or submitted by someone who speaks Spanish). But I can't find it & I don't really like the color wheel
I think this is the one you guys are talking about. It was uploaded by Awiscar from the Spanish forum.

Thanks Nyma, that's exactly what I was talking about! I did about 10 searches here & on google w/ no luck. You're a lifesaver!
meldancer,
"parts" can mean any unit of measure...it could be drops, tsps, tbsps, etc. it all depends on the amount of buttercream/fondant that you are working with. just make sure that your ratio is in accordance with the instructions.
