    Opposite colors on the color wheel should give you grayish results such as mixing red and green. You can add a touch of blue to achieve a bluish gray or a tad bit of yellow to make a brownish gray.

    Better yet, check with your local bakeries to see if they will make the icing for you or they may have the colors you need.... ready mixed.
