These sound wonderful, I cant wait to try them!
To customize these colors consider a pinch of white, black, brown, silver, gold or even red. Just in the tiniest amounts, to shift the color slightly and give it a warmer, cooler, dustier, richer or more muted tone. Write down your new recipe and bake a small chip of it to glue down beside your recipe for future reference.
