MaddoxBay Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I use green and a touch of brown, you can adjust the tone with gray and white if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yake Bait Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Also try irridescent gold, yellow, or copper with a touch of black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrydabassman Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Leaf green and black...use a couple drops at a time of black till you get the shade you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyFish Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 You know...........I ended up liking the color when combining Pearl Lime and a couple of drops of black. Closer to what I am looking for right now. Thanks for all the help.............I'll be using those mixtures soon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdoctor Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I purchased a pre-mixed color from Smith Paints, taxidermy series, that satisfied my need for olive (forgot the color name). You might give them a call to see what they have (Website too). Their paints seem a lot easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackCountry Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Try pearl copper with a bit of pearl green and a drop of black. The top lure was painted using this mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
