smallmouthaholic Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Add 5-8 drops of green pumpkin to watermelon and stir thoroughly. 1-to 3 drops of black can have a positive effect but proceed slowly. Folks simply add too much L.C. watermelon color and then fail to adjust it properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 LC watermelon is extremely green. I try to get my watermelon closer towards Zoom's watermelon so I tend to add pumpkin and green pumpkin to my initial few drops of watermelon until I'm satisfied with the color. I have tried adding a drop or two of black before and wasn't happy with the resulting color. I would rather go a little heavier with the green pumpkin or pumpkin than black, I think the resulting colors look better because Zoom's watermelon has that brownish tint to it. It's all personal preference though so as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
