Chart For Mixing Gel Colors
Decorating By sweettreat101 Updated 13 Mar 2017 , 7:55pm by sweettreat101
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.
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 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!
