A friend of mine gave me 11 color swatches that she wants me to use to make gumpaste tulips. Does anyone have a really good color chart for mixing colors? Periwinkle, bubblegum pink, Fuchsia, Hawaiian Teal, cornflower blue, washed teal that looks like a sage green.

Google Sweet Sugarbelle color chart. She's got a very nice one.

You can also get Georgeanne Bell's Book (blog: LilaLoa) The Cookie Companion. Even though it is technically designed for cookie makers and royal icing, the coloring section is out-of-this-world complete.  And other combined colors you can look up through Calleye's site Sweet Sugarbelle.  Both will give you all the good stuff on coloring.  I use it whenever I make buttercream OR royal icing.

Hope that helps!

I'm trying to find out what colors to mix to get bubble gum pink and fuschia.

I use Americolor deep pink for bubble gum, and Wilton Rose for fuschia. The Rose has enough of a purple undertone for me, but you can add a touch more purple if you like.  

This video from the Artisan Cake Company covers a lot of colours too, including fuschia.


Hope this helps!
