Bassmaster Rick Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think I'm over thinking this but I'm having trouble making a "bone" or "off-white" color for injecting. Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been asked before. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTM Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Look at lureworks natural color. Or Put a drop of yellow in. You will never learn colors and how they react until you screw some crap up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc14 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 +1 on yellow, but not much it doesn’t take much. Also keep written track of what you make it will help in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassinfool Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I like very little yellow in my bone, just a hint. Mine is mostly white colorant, 1 drop of yellow and a drop or two of natural. You can adjust it to your liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBuff Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 My standard bone is 8 oz. 3) Drops of white and a paperclip drop of Scupp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Good thread, now if we only had a "standard" color for bone. LOL I was looking at some of my lures from the late 70's that were "bone" and compared various versions of "bone" over the years. Did my 70's discolor or have "bones" changed color over the years.

Same brain here. LOL. Bone is sure not what it used to be! If memory serves me right, bone was clear, and not very long ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yes, but before that it was more yellow brown opaque, and ....... Currently, I kind of like the bone River2Sea uses on their hard baits. But the bone on the Rebels from the early 80's ...... I give up. Even if we made a standardized color chart on TU, or own computers would show it differently so what's the point. I don't even try to offer advice on how to make a color shown on the site anymore. I and my wife have the exact same computer, but different settings, so when she was looking at the same photo as I was some time ago, we could not even agree on what the true colors were. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's right, no matter what the color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
