bassgreg Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Just started pouring and I am and doing ok except for two colors. The first one I am having trouble with the blue in Aarons Magic, is it Blue, pearl blue or Hi lite Blue? I only have blue and it is not right. The other color is Yamamotos #176, Cinnamon with black flake. My brown is too dark and transparent, could there be some white in it? I hope this question is ok, I am not looking for anyones secret color just a suggested solution. Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hi Greg, The blue in Aaron's Magic is actually a "neon" blue. The best way to make the neon is: start with 2 ounces of plastic; add 4 drops of blue color, 1/4 teaspoon of blue hi-lite powder, and 2 drops of black color. As for Yamamoto's cinnamon, a customer of mine sent me a sample grub in their #176 last year and wanted me to copy it. I discovered that it's just a very light brown. Take regular brown (I call it chocolate or muddy brown) and start with 2 drops of color in 4 ounces of plastic. You can play with it to get your desired clarity. Each drop will make a pretty big difference in the darkness of the color. Also keep in mind that the black flake will make it a bit darker too. There are hundreds of different cinnamon colors out there, and every one of them tend to have a reddish tint. Yamamoto is the only exception. Hope this helps.

earthworm77 Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 is this the slightly cloudy light brown Yammie color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yep - just a light brown. Nothing else. Not a bit of red at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
