Color Help
« on: 02/24/15 08:38 UTC »
Guys, I only use X2 colors and before I get started at testing, what would you recommend for trying to match Senko #215 Cinnamon Red/Blue Flake, as far as the cinnamon part of it?

Thanks

I have the X2 but it won't help with this. I also have an M-F color [MF47-cinnamon] that will give you the depth you want but will need a drop or so of purple to bring it up to what you show in your picture. Its hard to say what the recipe might entail because that bait has salt in it and is clouded. Still, I think what I described will get you there.

I did purchase the cinnamon from M-F but I still cannot get it right.  Seems to be too dark brown still.  I have tried in 8 oz 3 drops of Cin, 1 drop of regular red and also tried the same while adding a drop of regular purple since it looks like a purplish/red hue.  Any more help would be appreciated.  If I can remember, I'll post a pic of this for reference.

Now try dipping a toothpick about 1/4" into white and stirring that in .

Try pumpkin seed.  The blue flake is what's adding that purple hue also.
