For gray, add only one drop of blue.
Answers: Add vanilla (brown), a little red (to pink it up) and a little yellow to make the icing an nice, nude, peach colour.
For gray, add only one drop of blue.
make your normal butter/powdered sugar/milk icing or a nice cheesecake frosting. use 1 drop of red and one drop of yellow icing at a time until you achieve a nice peach color.
Gray? I'm not sure... I'm guessing some mixture of blue/red/yellow should produce a gray.
go very light on the yellow and slight addition of pink/red
as for gray, i'd think if you mixed all colors together to make black, and add only a little bit of it, you could achieve gray.
might take a few tries tho.
craft stores like michaels sell wilton decorating colors.3 bucks a jar maybe.use sparingly as they are concentrated
nude: start with a little orang and red and lighten untill you get a soft pinkish hue.
gray: black icing lightened till your happy
The way you lightened is to add white icing to the very small amount of colored icing till it is right. you may eventually end up with more than you need. That's th trouble with making light colored icings.
i sent a color chat and some cake icing web pages hope this helps
when painting, you would use a little bit of red, white, and yellow to create a nude, or flesh color. so take the smallest amount of red and white (better to mix this seperately and not just use a generic pink icing), add a bit of yellow, and you should have a desired color. If its too yellowish, add more white, but remember, take it a step at a time, don't just pour red, white, and yellow icing together! if you don't want to do that, look for a brown, add lots of white, and a dash of yellow. then, for gray, i know that stores sell black icing, so take that and white. Use a good amount of white to the black, and you should have the gray that you want. best of luck!
If you are making it now and don't have time to go shopping, you could try adding light brown sugar until you reach the tint you are looking for. Or, if you have some on hand, you could melt and incorporate some butterscotch or peanut butter chips. Or, even, just peanut butter.
As for the gray, maybe add a little bit of cocoa powder or vanilla.
go to maybe a craft store , they sell the odd colors of food colorings, or if there is a wiltons place around you you could try that without all the mixing of colors. search in your area for cake decorating stores.
