Yellow/Copper Color Trouble

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.

I think I'd pick up some amber colorant and start with that.

agree with Tom on the Amber.  If you buy the Do-It X2 Amber, 2 drops in 4oz of plastisol will get darn near the amber in that shot.  Also Tiger Gold will get you close.

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.

Awesome, I will give it a shot and see what happens.  I will try and snap a photo to show you how it comes out.  Thanks!
