WARM & COOL COLORS Generally, colors on the LEFT side of the are your WARM colors, and colors on the RIGHT side of your color wheel are COOL colors.

KEY COLOR HARMONY When creating a perfect color palette, you want all the colors to work together and create harmony. You can achieve this by using a "key" color, or a color that is used in small amounts and added to each color mixture. For example, the "Summer Citrus" palette's key color in the oranges is peach, and a little is used in all 3 shades. I also do this often with the color Taupe - to give my colors a nice muted look.

MIXING DIFFERENT SHADES/TONES

ADD MORE WHITE ICING TO CHANGE THE TINT OF YOUR TINT PURE COLOR.

PURE COLOR ADD TAUPE TO CHANGE THE TON TONE OF YOUR COLOR/MUTE YOUR COLOR. YOU CAN ALSO USE IVORY.

ADD BLACK TO CHANGE THE SHADE SHADE OF YOUR PURE COLOR & DARKEN. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS!

5 HOW TO MEASURE YOUR GEL FOOD COLORING

• Q U I C K G U I D E T O G E L F O O D C O L O R M E A S U R E M E N T S •

You'll notice through-out this color mixing guide in each formula when listing how much color to use I will say "drop, small drop, dab, or tiny dab" Below is a photo guide for what each means word means. Color drops are added on the tip of a butter knife to better show size for reference.

DROP SMALL DROP DAB SMALL DAB A drop is when you About 1/2 of the For a dab, squeeze About 1/2 the amount squeeze the bottle amount of a regular some gel color out of of a dab. Just the just enough so the gel drop. your bottle so some tinest amount on your comes out, but not is left on the top of spatula! hard enough where a the bottle. Take your large blob comes out. spatula and dab a small amount onto your spatula. 6 TIPS & TRICKS

• M A K I N G C O L O R M I X I N G E A S I E R •

IMPORTANT REMINDER I add about 1 teaspoon of white gel icing to my base icing (per 2 lb of powdered sugar). If you do not do this, your colors may vary more.

Color Mixing Tips & Tricks Start with a small amount of color. You can always add more, but it's hard to go from dark to . Use a thin rubber spatula to mix your icing. Trust me, this is a LOT easier than a spoon! You can use the same bowl for mixing multiple colors, just go from light to dark. Plus, this saves on dishes! If you want to "mute" your color, add a tiny bit of Taupe. When adding icing to your tipless bags, place your bag in a small cup and fold the edges of the bag around the lip of the cup. This will make it so you can easily pour in your icing.

TO MAKE A GRADIENT OF COLOR: FOR EXAMPLE: 1. Mix 3.5 ounces of any color, we'll say Hibiscus. 2. Keep 2 ounces in one bowl, this will be your darkest color. 3. In remaining 3 bowls, add one ounce, 1/2 ounce. 4. Next in remaining 3 bowls, add back white so you have 2 ounces in each bowl.

Now you should have an even gradient of your Hibiscus color!

47 FAQ

• M A K I N G C O L O R M I X I N G E A S I E R •

Q: What time zone are the live videos in? A: Mountain Standard Time

Q: What if I can't make the live video or have to leave during it? A: All live videos will be saved to the feed once they are done so you can go back and reference them as you need.

Q: How do I make a color more muted? A: Add a tiny amount of Taupe, you can also use Ivory!

Q: How do you add such a tiny bit of color? A: Squeeze a tiny amount out of your bottle. You can either squeeze it onto a paper towel or plate, or if you squeeze hard enough some will just spill out of the Americolor Bottle. Then take your spatula and dab it very carefully onto the color blob so you have the tiniest amount on your spatula.

Q: What if I don't have one of the Americolor colors that I need, can I sub with a different brand? A: YES! Just try to match color for color as best as you can. If you need suggestions feel free to ask in the private Facebook group. You can also PM me, however it may take a little longer for me to reply that way.
