I am trying to make Navy blue without an actual navy blue color gel... Wilton says to use a combination of Royal blue and black, but this just makes a weird medium blue. Any other suggestions? I have almost every other Wilton color, I think, but my local craft stort didn't have a Navy blue.
You will need to go a very dark blue before you add the black. Approximately 1 tsp of wilton royal blue color for 1 cup of white icing and then add a small amount of black. If it is a little off sometimes the addition of a tiny bit of violet will help.
I just tried this this weekend and I couldn't get it to work. Like yo I got a ugly industrial color but it makes sense really because BLUE is a primary color and you can't combine colors to get navy blue, just dirty up the "royal blue" but I tried, no success.
Okay - sorry it didn't work. I was going by color charts and truthfully I use americolor mostly except for when I am teaching. You will love Americolor - It is wonderful!!!
I've also had success mixing royal blue and black, but like a previous poster said, you have to add A LOT!
