How can I get a deep crimson color for my icing? I’m struggling with it being too purple/burgundy. Any suggestions welcomed!

I need a recipe for sage green. My niece is getting married in August and I am making cookies for a dessert table and this is the color for her wedding.

We have another blog post about mixing sage green icing; the same color theories hold true for mixing airbrush colors, so you should still be able to follow that as a guide. I hope this helps!

I need a recipe for Peach airbrush color. Any recommendations?

The Cookie Countess replied:
Hi Deanna! Peach is essentially just red, white, and yellow, so that’s your base. I would recommend starting with a larger amount of white and adding even (small) amounts of red and yellow to start. Mix, reassess, and add more of either or both colors to adjust your shade.

I need to make burnt orange for Auburn cookies. How would I do that?

The Cookie Countess replied:
Any “burnt” color typically has a little brown added. I would start with a base of Outrageously Orange, and add a dab of brown to start, adjusting as needed. Good luck!

Can you recommend a formula for a forest green or a dark green?

The Cookie Countess replied:
We actually carry a Forest Green airbrush color in our Rustic Colors line 😊 You can darken it even further by adding a small amount of brown or black, depending on the tone you are trying to achieve.

I need a recipe for Maroon airbrush color! I have 2 grandsons who play 3 sports for a Maroon team. TIA!

The Cookie Countess replied:
To make a maroon color, I would try a ratio of 2 drops of Royal Red Velvet and 3 drops of totally brown, and continue to add color using that ratio until your desired color is achieved.
