Moss Green and Black glitter.  If you were using X2 colorant it looks like straight Watermelon Brown.

I was thinking light scuppernong on one side and light watermelon on the other, I think when the two colors are stacked on top of each other the watermelon appears to have a brown tint to it

I don't think it's a lami is it?  I just think the 2 pictures look different.  Is it a lami?

It is rootbeer with green and black flake.  Rootbeer looks very different from this until you add the flake, then it will be a straight up match.

Here is my version of Gourd Green color (zoom color)

50 Bears Scuppernog and 035 green flake

I think Scupernog has a little more amber/red than rootbear but either should work.

This looks to be about the same color as Yum's 211.  I use 2-3 drops of Lurecraft's rootbeer in 4 oz of plastic.  It will get you real close.

I used watermelon green and some root beer but the middle came out light and the tails came out dark.  i tried many different verations of it.  Couldn't match it perfect.  thank you for all the replies.

I just got back from Amistad.  I caught a few fish on a shad colored DD gill today. 

The color is NOT a laminate.  Here's the recipe that I made for Amistad Special, it's close.

2 drops LC brown
6 drops LC rootbeer
small green glitter
med gold glitter

4OZ plastic
4-5 drops of Rootbeer
1-2 drop of green pumpkin
1/16 tsp .40 hex green glitter
1/16 tsp .40 square black flake

That should put you in the money!

My Bears scuppernog is a LOT more red than yours but I do like your color.
