kidlizard Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hey guys, I got so much help with the olive blue, maybe you can help get me started on a cinnamon and a avacado using only lurecraft coloring. I searched and I have determined that most cinnamon is basically a light brown with a touch of red. Avacado looks like a dark green pumpkin?? Not popular colors in my area, but a customer wants them. Any help will be appreciated very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hey Kid: LC has an avacado color straight out of the bottle now!!! Your on for cinnamon in my opinion. Or you can get some of LC's Amber Brown...its cinnamon to me!!! Jim PS My avacado has been green pumkin with touch of brown, yellow and 1 drop of black. I didn't write down the recipe I used to make it the one time I had to (duh!!!!!) but those were definitely the colors I used!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Avocado is nice, but again.......most fishermen are thinking of a darker avocado. Add some black to Lure Craft's avocado and it's a done deal. Cinnamon is one of those "interesting" colors because there are many different shades. Here's the basic three that I've found: 1) Basic Cinnamon (like Yamamoto's): just a very, very light brown......nothing else. 1 drop of brown per 3 ounces of plastic. 2) Oxblood or Crawfish Cinnamon: In 4 ounces of plastic......5 drops MF crawfish, 1 drop red, 1 drop purple. 3) Red Cinnamon: In 4 ounces of plastic......4 drops amber brown, 2 drops red. I know this is confusing, but it's always best to ask the customer to send you a sample cinnamon that he or she wants, or at least get a picture from them.

madbass Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Here's mine for cinnamon: 3 drops brown in 4 oz. plastic. black and copper flake (twice as much copper flk). The copper flk. really accents the "cinnamon" color nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 You can also get to a GYCB sort of cinnamon by using LC pumpkin, just less of it than you would need to make regular pumpkin. It will darken up a bunch whne you add the flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james bradshaw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 If you wan't yamamoto's cinamon buy the m-f cinamon color, it looks like the same thing as yamamoto's, its a brown cinamon. The green pumpkin that yamamoto has is the same color as the m-f watermelon brown. Just in case someone wanted to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I should have enough to get me in the ball park.
