Color Match

Recommended Posts

Looks like a weak amber color. Loaded with salt which gives it its opaque look and/or air bubbles from open pot hand dip tube. Any idea what Nichols called the color? I would call that Gourd Green or Pumpkin Green Flake. Some possible colorants to consider: Gourd 172, Amber 114, Scuppernong 134, and perhaps SB Yellow 118. Rootbeer 119 might work, you would just have to keep it weak so it doesn't brown up too much. If you dont have any of those in your arsenal then you will have to use an equivalent color from another supplier that is similar to one of those I mentioned. When I ran Pumpkin Green Flake in production I used Kelly Green, it compliments the Yellow shade of the bait real well. But dont let that stop you from using Emerald Green if you already have that in inventory. Glitter size is personal preference and somewhat determined by the size of the bait.

 

Accounting for the color shift caused by salt if you dont plan on using salt is always fun. Good Luck.
