need help finding old Bear color
« on: 02/20/15 18:26 UTC »
Bear at one time sold a color: Chocolate Mint (a changeable color)
I would greatly appreciate if anyone knows where I could get some of this color. 
Thank You!

This particular colour wasn't bought through conventional resources, it was mixed by an individual. There is at least one pigment used that is messing with any chance of another company mixing this colour (at least those that I have talked to that have tried). My understanding is it is still out there, made in small quantities, and only one individual i am aware of has it, and he won't give up the source.

Buffy, I'm not sure but the guy that made those colors for Bear got sick some years ago. May have even died. Not sure he'll do you any good. Bear couldn't even get them anymore.
