Bruiser Color Help

Tried matching this color and had a little issue with my blue.  I am using M-F Black with M-F Blue, however my blue is getting drowned out by the black when looking straight on from that side.  The dual injection is working perfect and from the side you can see the clear line and distinction between colors.  Do I need to switch to using the X2 Blue to get this to work?  I have several X2 colors and they are much more opaque, which is probably what I'm looking for.  Any idea's or success stories would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Black and blue are great companion colors but you might want to try adding just a hint of pearl to the blue so light doesn't move thru it so well. Another thought is to get your hands on some Marine blue colorant Mix it up sort of strong and try it against the black. Marine can really hold its own when partnered with black. Try the little bit of pearl first. Not enough to make it a true pearl color but enough to "just" be noticed.

May be a silly question, but where are you getting the Marine Blue colorant?

I agree with ctom.  Their ultramarine blue is a great color.  The flipping blue is very good too, but may be too deep for what you are trying to achieve.
