Hi Everyone!
So, I'm making a figure of a person who needs to have red hair (as requested by the customer). Red would look too red and orange is too orange. I tried mixing a little red with orange and it was a pink color. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance!

I think terracotta or even wilton copper would give you the orangish color you need with out it looking like a pumpkin. Goodluck!

Terracotta is good....in the future, all you'd have to do is add a bit of brown to the orange or red until you get the shade you want.
