Anyone ever use the ccm motor oil color.  seems a little dark to to me... but it may just be me, as my family say I am color challenged.

It may be you, but then it could be your monitor. Not all computer monitors show colors the same. It may be nothing more than how strong the shown color is mixed. As with any color, the less you add to a specific amount of plastic the weaker and more transparent the color becomes. From vendor to vendor the colors may vary some, but I think most will give you what you are looking for. If this is a 2X color its easy to make the color pretty bold. A little 2X goes a long way.

Motor oil is very different from each manufacturer.

I dont have the CCM motor oil but the pic looks like it is "used" motor oil in a car. Dark with a green tint. LC motor oil is similar to this.

The CCM Amber looks like it would make the "clean" version of motor oil that would come straight from the container before you added it to your car engine.

If it is the original stuff as I suspect, then I use it all the time. It is a "changeable" color and is the BEST out there BY FAR! It is not to dark and looks exactly like fresh motoroil! Greenish-brownish depending on the light hitting it! Awesome with small red flake!!!!!

Downside is, it bleeds real bad. It will color othr baits quick! You also have to mix REAL WELL or you will get a red-brown color instead of the motoroil....
