Ratio Calculator tool for colour mix guide

Yellow : Purple

Want the perfect shade of succulent flower for your next project?  Who would have guessed a colour mix of purple and yellow would give you dreamy green tones of sage and succulents?

Say you decided the 4:1 ratio is the perfect shade and you want to test a small batch before committing large amounts of fondant.

How much of each colour will you need?  If math sends you running for the hills, don't worry - I've taken the guesswork out for you.

Step 1: Find your colour

We created a simple Pettinice colour mix guide to help you find your desired ratio shades easily.  Bonus: Each mix includes a print icon so you can see and print out the full range on one screen too.   

 

Step 2: Calculate amounts

Go to Make Pretty Cakes to access the calculator. Note: Some devices will require double-clicking white boxes to activate.

Enter the ratio and amount of fondant needed. As device screens are not created equal, I recommend making a smaller test batch (20 grams) to see the true colour.

Mini digital scale calculators are perfect for the job enabling you to weigh out amounts less than .01 gram -- and that means less waste.  Kiss your buckets of unused test colours goodbye!

If math sends you running for the hills - don't worry! I've taken all the guesswork out for you with a handy ratio calculator."
