Silver minnow is from lurecraft. It has the silver glitter that you see in it, other than that I dont use any flake in these.  Thank you

Thanks for the formula.  That is a very minnow looking minnow color.  I have been "contemplating" how you formulated it because it looked so good.  Very "minnow" and not transparent / translucent.  I would never have gotten the olive and was thinking pearl silver smoke instead of  your formula of Lumina Black.
On a connecting note;
On the Lure Craft website; all the colors ( both Liquid and powders ) are found on the Liquid color's  pull up color chart.  It confused me until I figured it out (  DUH ).  I was thinking the colors on the chart were all liquid colors.
