The person who taught me how to mix colours was my grandma. We used to paint together and we still sometimes do when I visit her ;) That is why when I started decorating cakes, mixing colours was quite easy for me... In this tutorial I'll try to explain all there is to explain. You'll see that mixing colours can actually be FUN!

To make vintage colours add a bit of black, brown or ivory depending what kind of shade you are after. Look at the sugarpaste balls placed more to the right... they look as if they are a bit dirty, don't they? When I try to figure out which colour I need to add in order to get the shade I want, I ask myself 'Does this colour look dirty? Or is it bright and clean?'. Then I know whether I should or should not add some black, brown or ivory colour.
If you want to practice, you can add some black, brown and ivory to other colours than the ones shown in the photo f.ex. yellow or green and observe how the colours change.
