Mixing food color to get bright purple?!
I am mixing icing for a cake and have put equal parts of red and blue food coloring to get purple, but it's more of a lavender!. I am wanting more of a deeper purple or a bright purple!. I have red, yellow, blue, and green food coloring; Christmas red, red red, kelly green, and leaf green in the wilton icing colors [to work with]!. thanks so much and God BlessWww@FoodAQ@Com
