Moss Green and Black glitter.  If you were using X2 colorant it looks like straight Watermelon Brown.

I was thinking light scuppernong on one side and light watermelon on the other, I think when the two colors are stacked on top of each other the watermelon appears to have a brown tint to it

I don't think it's a lami is it?  I just think the 2 pictures look different.  Is it a lami?

It is rootbeer with green and black flake.  Rootbeer looks very different from this until you add the flake, then it will be a straight up match.

Here is my version of Gourd Green color (zoom color)

50 Bears Scuppernog and 035 green flake

I think Scupernog has a little more amber/red than rootbear but either should work.
