Hi there


We have an order for MacBook in Gold.

Their gold is not actually gold. I took the picture of it from Apple's site. 
I'm trying to play with colors but can't reach to this color. I've mixed little bit of brown with a tini miny dot of Wilton golden yellow, So far in vain.

I need your help urgently because I must finish it by Thursday. It needs drying too.

PLEASE HELP!!!

I'd start with an ivory and see what that looks like, then add pink to it as needed. That looks like a rose gold on my computer.

That is another issue, this color looks different on different screens, from my laptop to my phone and TV, it is not very much same.

I'll try to buy Ivory, unfortunately I'm out of it.

Thanks a lot :)

If you have an airbrush you could try mixing the gold airbrush color with a shimmery pink airbrush color.  But ivory and pink may work as well.

I don't have airbrush :(
But Ivory and pink is what I am going to try.
Thanks a lot :)
