I have been trying to get the coloring right for the baseball glove that I posted below.  I have added brown, of course, but it needs something more.  I tried to add some orange.  I don't know.  I think I have made every shade, but the one I need.  I am trying to get the coloring as true to the real glove as I can.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks

How about flesh tone and add a dot of brown a little at a time.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did start out with bridal ivory and have added brown, but there is a tint of orange/yellow in the glove.  I can't tell you how many blobs of fondant I have tried to color and everyone in my family keeps saying, "close, but no"  I took the glove to our local home improvement painting department and asked if they could tell me what colors make up the glove.  They found a paint chip that is comparable and then looked up the color combination for me.  They said it has mustard yellow, rust red, black  and white.  I have been experimenting now with those combinations.

Just remember colors darken as it dries so let it set at least overnight. Good luck!!
