Icing Color Chart
When mixing color always mix a small amount of color to experiment. Start with base color and then add very small amounts of secondary color. Be sure to mix enough color for the cakes to be decorated as it is difficult to match an exact color.

AQUA Sky Blue and Leaf Green

THANK YOU!!! I am laminating this, I am not a color master and quite often get a different shade that I wanted. Thank you both!
Hi Petit-four: do you mean that the first color listed in the color combination is the Base color?
Oh my gosh! This list is amazing!! I can't even imagine how long it took you to come up with this. But thank you so much doing all this hardwork and for being willing to share with the rest of us!
This is great. Thanks so much! BTW, anybody know where to get a color mixing chart for Satin Ice fondant? I saw one at my cake supply store hanging next to the Satin Ice, but they were super busy and I haven't been back yet to ask.

Hi angkimbrell...sorry for the slow response. I'd not been receiving topic notices.
Yes, I think they mean mix up the base color (the main color) to the general intensity you want, and then tint it with a tiny bit of the additional colors. So, for example, for "ANTIQUE GOLD" I'd start with yellow icing, and then add a little green as they direct.
Hope this helps!
THis is perfect!!!! Glad I found this post. How wonderful for all of you to share !! Thank you!!
THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!! This is very much appreciated by everybody.....I have made a real mess trying to figure out some of these colors.
Hey there! thanks for the Wilton Colour chart. The only problem is that at this time, that page is unavailable via the link. Don't know if there is an update... I have copied and pasted the list you gave ( what a life saver you are!). Just thought anyone else out there might wanna do the same thing!
Thank you!!
