Still searching, I did a google search and someone said they used 2parts red and 1part burgundy but that seems dark. I have searched here and have not found anything yet. There are many pictures with sub sammies but nobody has put their colors down, so sorry. Some of them look like perhaps a little pink and maybe some skin tone with a teeny bit of brown but I am not sure if that is it. I really hope you find something, I know how difficult it is when you need it and can not find it

Thank you. I did search too and couldnt come up with anything.Here or Google. I looked for 2 days before posting.
I think the color you saw would be ok for say roast beef.. But that is just to dark for turkey or ham like you said.
Well who knows the day is young and I have a little time left.
Okay..I'll give this a shot....I mixed red and green fondant the other day to test to see if I would get burgundy and it came out a meaty red color...You could use that for Ham....Then You could try using a touch of ivory for chicken or turkey and maybe hand paint the edges a dark brown to look like charred skin.HTH

Now the ball is rolling! do you think ivory and a touch of pink maybe?? IThey are delivering my WHOLE family dinner tonight so I will have a "model" to look at. YEA!!
somebody posted this!
I have never tried matching the color of ham, but I would use little pieces of fondant and play around with colors until I got something that I thought was close. I would probably start by mixing terracotta and pink and go from there

terracotta?? I dont even have that color..So how do I make it is the next thought
Ihave PM'd a few but no reply yet. That is why I posted this... But they might still.
Sorry, guess I should read more carefullly! Terracotta is a Wilton color, (works really well for brick) but Michaels doesn't carry it here, anyway...I had to go to a hobby shop across town. You can order it on-line, however. 
OK everyone.. TODAY is the day to color the meat.(Sounds so wierd.)
Last night the Manager delivered 7 foot long subs to the house. 1 for each person in the family and 1 extra for a model. So if you add that to the price I charged for the cake I'm thinking..." 
Wanna order another??" 
Anyway I think I have the basic plan of attack I will let you know WHAT I did, or at least the successful attempt. it will be Turkey with pepperjack cheese, tomato, cucumber, olives ,purple onion, lettuce, andmaybe a yellow pepper. (I need to look at it to see if there is anything else. I saved the model in the fridge for real color compairason and took pictures (just in case I need to eat lunch 
)
Thank you for your help and I will keep you posted!
Hi There...I chimed in on hailes "post of help" with pink and paint the edges brown for a whole ham. I didn't pick up on the fact that it's a sandwhich.
I hope the terracotta works! We don't have Americolor in craft stores but our "little" cake supply lady has a lot of Americolor. Should be able to mix from the readily available Wilton though...
I hope it's going well. What a neat cake!
I have heard about Americolor but have no idea where to buy it. Where did you get yours? So did you get hungry at lunch and eat the model sub...hehehheee
Have a great day
I ordered my Americoler online Global sugar art carries them.
YES! We did get hungry and had the sub for lunch (after we color matched the filling.)
I AM DONE!!
The meat I used americolor fleshtone (copper) it was great. just a TINY TINY bit at a time. Then used the brown to color the edges for the seared look. There are purple onions (used Fucia for that) and cucumbers, olives, pickles,Tomatoes, Yello peppers. it was fun. BE SURE if you try this to think about support. The fondant weight caused me to redo the bottom layer. (not good) but it turned out just fine. I posted the pic.
