Since I dig the pic in the El Gusano thread, I decided to copy the color.  I had to mix up my own lime, it turned out pretty close.  It's brighter in person and will make a killer bait.
I'm thinking bronze hilite could work in the green if it's kept light. And .015 or .008 fire red flake could fire up the motor oil.

Top is my typical motor oil:
6 oz plastic
4 drops motor oil x2
1/4 tsp each Black .015 and .04 flake
Green hilite

Bottom:
4 oz plastic
4 drops chartreuse x2
2 drops M-F watermelon
.04 & .015 black flake to taste
Green hilite - very light amount, practically unnoticeable.
