D.J. Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Is there any rhyme or reason on giving colors a number; for example: #297 (Green Pumpkin) or #194(Watermelon Black Flake). (Both Yamamoto colors). I am in the process of numbering all of my colors, so I was just curious. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm not sure there is a reason for it, but Yamamoto has certainly made it popular. I was trying to figure out their number system to see if I could figure it out. It looks pretty random to me. It would make a lot more sence if the numbers actually meant something.

COBRA Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I HAVE TAKEN MY COLORS THE WAY I FIRST WROTE THEM DOWN AND NUMBERED 1, 2, 3 ECT. I USE THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD OF THE BAIT NAME AS A PREFIX WITH THE COLOR BEHIND IT. LIKE MY JIG TRAILER, THE COBRA CLAW, IN SMOKE RED FLAKE, WOULD BE A CC04, OR IF IT WAS MY DEAD BOLT IN THE SAME COLOR, IT WOULD BE DB04.

BigZ Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm sure yamamoto uses a number scheme solely for ordering purposes as a reference. If someone could devise a colorant numbering scheme, that would make it easy for us to swap recipes. If one of the NERDS reading this is an HTML king and could make an applet with a color wheel incorporating a standard set of colorants to mix the picked color on the chart, that would be KILLER! You would of course have to have a fixed volume and measuement for colorants, ie.. 1 cup plastic, drops to cup? I can theorize but I can't program web stuff worth mule fertility.

Dungeonhawk5 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 it would be an awful lot of work to design that web app... You have to take into account how much salt you are adding, which dulls the colors, etc... Then each drop of each color changes it some odd %... I cant even imagine trying to do that... I am decent at the web stuff, but this is far beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
