I need to make a Shrek cake for my granddaughter's birthday and am wondering how I can make the right green color and the right gray color for donkey. Any help would be appreciated.

You should search the galleries for shrek cakes and PM someone who's made one. I know Solecito did a great FBCT of Shrek and Donkey recently.

I know I used Wilton's Moss Green for Shrek, but I don't remember if I added any other color to it. I'm very perfectionist with my colors and strive to get as close to the real thing as I can. But I don't always jot down the colors I use.
Something that helps me is having a color picture or party plate, etc. to compare.
Good luck!

I'm not sure about Donkey, but I have some Americolor Electric Green that seems like it would be the right color for Shrek. I used it on the cell phone cake and 'circles' cake in my gallery.

Thanks! I think I have the moss green you are talking about mariecar6. I'll have to pull out all of my colors and do some thinking!
