Title: Yellow/Copper Color Trouble
Post by: Just Run` on 01/26/17 15:14 UTC: http://img.tacklewarehouse.com/watermark/rs.php?path=MBDB-DSTM-1.jpg

I am trying to recreate this color, no swirl, just the yellowish/copper color. Any idea of a mixture to get this accomplished? I have rootbeer and yellow colorants, just not sure what the mixture would be to potentially get this results. Thanks.

Post by: BareKnuckleJigs on 01/29/17 14:06 UTC: The Green definitely looks like Green Pumpkin, but the Orange...in say, 8 ounces of plastic, the Orange is dense, opaque, so I'd start with 24 drops MF Yellow, and since I don't have X2 Rootbeer but I do use several X2 colors, I'd start with 4 drops of X2 Rootbeer then add 1-2 drops of X2 Rootbeer at a time to bring the Yellow more Red, towards the Orange I see in the pic, if the original 4 drops isn't enough.
