This looks to be about the same color as Yum's 211.  I use 2-3 drops of Lurecraft's rootbeer in 4 oz of plastic.  It will get you real close.

I used watermelon green and some root beer but the middle came out light and the tails came out dark.  i tried many different verations of it.  Couldn't match it perfect.  thank you for all the replies.

I just got back from Amistad.  I caught a few fish on a shad colored DD gill today. 

The color is NOT a laminate.  Here's the recipe that I made for Amistad Special, it's close.

2 drops LC brown
6 drops LC rootbeer
small green glitter
med gold glitter

4OZ plastic
4-5 drops of Rootbeer
1-2 drop of green pumpkin
1/16 tsp .40 hex green glitter
1/16 tsp .40 square black flake

That should put you in the money!

My Bears scuppernog is a LOT more red than yours but I do like your color.


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.
