I am needing to achieve a lime green icing color for a cake I am doing. I don't want a "knock your socks off" lime green, but a bit of a subtle lime green color. Any help would be appreciated-thanks!
I you in a rush and can't get to Americolor fast enough I have used Betty Crocker neon food coloring. The colors are vibrant and it works great in a pinch. There is actually a lime green color in there. I buy it at my local supermarket.
Thanks everyone for the tips!
One more quick question, should I start with the yellow and add the green or vice versa?
I usually start with yellow and add green.
Helps keep it limey without going to kelly
Start w/ yellow then add green. To not have a potent green I like using golden yellow instead of lemon yellow. You can also add a little kelly or emerald green if the leaf green is still too much. But if you're wanting a pastel lime green, go a soft yellow & you'll need to add very little green. Remember it will darken as it sits out!
But invest in Americolor electric or Chef Master neon green when you get the chance.
