re: Oh humidity...why do you hate me so?

Oh yes, I too live in a country that is humid most of the time, except few days far in between like today for example where it’s cold and dry… So off to do some flowers :-)
I totally relate to xclusive about not working with dark colors when it is humid because, one, I have to add more gel color to get to the strength of the color needed which makes the fondant too moist, and two, oh the shine on the fondant, looks horrible!!! I noticed that the leftover fondant I have with dark colors are much softer than the ones with lighter color. Does adding gumpaste to fondant makes things better, like the suggestion above?
