Mixing cocoa color depends on the medium you're using. For paint, a specific recipe exists; for cocoa butter, a more general approach is needed.

- 7% Yellow

- 47% Black
- 26% White

Experimentation might be required to achieve your desired result. You can adjust the percentages slightly to fine-tune the color.
Mixing Cocoa Butter Color
Creating colored cocoa butter involves a different process. According to multiple sources, you can achieve various cocoa colors by using food-safe coloring agents mixed into melted cocoa butter. The exact method depends on the type of food coloring used and the desired shade. There's no single recipe, instead, you begin with your base cocoa butter and experiment with small batches of different color combinations until the preferred color is achieved. Several online resources, like the one linked in the provided snippets, provide video tutorials on this process. Keep in mind that the final color might vary depending on the cocoa butter's quality and the food coloring's concentration.
Additional Considerations
Remember that the terms "cocoa color" and "chocolate brown" are often used interchangeably. The specific shade of cocoa color you want to achieve will influence the precise mixture needed. Whether you're working with paint or cocoa butter, experimentation is key to perfecting your cocoa color.
