How Do I Make 'cafe Au Lait' Colored Fondant?

I haven't played with it yet, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this and how. Picture something Ron ben Isreal-ish...
I can start with ivory or white fondant, not sure which; thinking a touch of brown and maybe a tiny bit of black
I think I'll go play with it now, but if you've done this, feel free to chime in.
i'd say brown and a tad of ivory/skintone? i don't think you'd need any black either hth 
i would start with ivory and add brown little by little... there are, of coarse, different shades but to get there faster add little bits to the ivory... try with a little piece... add toothpick dots and record or memorize how much you used, and then use that ratio on a bigger piece...
I made exactly what I was looking for, but it did turn out to need a touch of black...
The color I wanted was from the Martha Stewart Wedding Cakes book--there's a gorgeous Ron ben Israel cake in there that looks like crewel work on cafe-au lait fondant, but it's sort of a 'putty'-ish color.
I used ivory fondant, added some Wilton brown, and just a *speck* of black, and it was perfect.
i am so glad that it worked out for you, be sure to upload some pics of the final cake so that we can see the final product
