Default Copper Color

Any ideas on what colors to mix to get something close to a copper color? Think I've tried adding everything I can think of to various shades of 104 COE Amber and I'm not getting there....using some silver and then a THIN coat of Ruby Gold is about the closest, but still not the gold ring!!

That is a tough one! Maybe, the new Bullseye Copper Green Luster?

You might want to try and reduce copper green . When reduced it gives a warm red terra cotta coppershade , it also shines a bit.

Oh and forgot, you might want to find some red roof tile, this is an awesome terra cotta-copper red color. If you really want it to sparkle, try roling it through goldstone chips ( jodel glass has some)
