How to Get a Grey Color Frosting
- 1). Scoop the contents of white or vanilla store-bought frosting out of the container with a spoon and into a bowl.
- 2). Whisk two egg whites in a bowl if you choose to make your own fondant frosting. Add 3 cups of confectioners' sugar in 1/2-cup increments to the egg whites. Stir the sugar into the mixture until the mixture becomes smooth.
- 3). Add one drop of black or purple food coloring, depending on the hue of grey that you desire. Black food coloring produces a dark grey, versus purple coloring, which provides a light grey with a hint of purple. Another option is to combine yellow, blue and red food coloring to make grey because the three colors neutralize each other.
- 4). Stir the food coloring into the frosting or paint and knead it into the fondant with your palms and knuckles. Check the color. Add more food coloring for a darker hue. Lighten the color of the frosting by adding more frosting or by dropping in a white or yellow food coloring, if the grey becomes too dark.
