davefarley98 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 FYI I will be using bears colorants. It seems to have green pumpkin (obviously) and fine black flake. Possibly a drop or two of black? Any help would be appreciated I know a lot on here are way more experienced at mixing colors than I am. Thanks. Oh, also I will be pouring sticks so I'm not sure how the color will be effected by the salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhorse Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I use a very primitive way of color matching but it works grate. I use just basic colors yellow, red, blue, black and white. From different mixtures I produce my own Brown, green, green pumpkin or pumpkin etc, start mixing with the lure you want to match in your hand, make 3 or 5 different mixed samples and you will find a way to get very closer. There are many ways to get a mixed color with different basic colors. Make an art color mixing search on google. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick'em Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 To me this color looks to have a cinnamon hue to it. I don't think it's a true green pumpkin. Maybe it has heavy small bronze flake changing the look of the green pumpkin to a "dirty" or brownish color. I would try a little green pumpkin and cinnamon with a bronze or copper fleck.

SHK Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 just goes to show you how unreliable computer screens are. buy a bag and get one in your hand and see what you can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick'em Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 So true, SHK. Tough to really get it narrowed down from a computer pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 To me it looks like a double dip tube(one color over another). If you increase your screen percentage you can see it. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you increase your screen percentage you can see it. www.novalures.com Your right, it does have flare to the tails. I'm still not seeing a heavy green pumpkin anywhere though, more of mix of a brownie color and GP, with tiny fleck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefarley98 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well I tried to replicate the tube. I think I came pretty close. Not exact though. I got to thinking that maybe where the sticks are heavily salted that it would be extremely difficult to match the color exactly. Am I wrong or can it be achieved?

tacklecrafter Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thats a bad pic dave. Here is my copy of cabin creek dark dirty green pumpkin which it is more brown. These tubes were done with bears colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmang Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Fished that bait this weekend - it is more of a motor oil color. I would go 50/50 GP and Motor Oil blend and add a drop of PB for the brown effect. That is what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
