Help With Daniel Tiger Frosting Colors

Just some background, I'm an amateur cake decorator, self taught. I've made cakes here and there for family birthdays. My sins first birthsy is coming up and I want to make a Daniel Tiger cake with buttercream frosting and do something like BC transfer or outline and fill in with piped stars. Any suggestions on which gel colors to use? I don't want to do just a plain orange since he has more details.

Guess this isn't much of a big deal! Lol I'll use some Wilton icing colors and trial and error!

I'd go with orange and a touch of brown. Start with a small amount and keep adding until you get the tone you like.

And know that the shade will darken some as it sits.
