im having trouble making my soft plastic lures that nice chartreuse color that you find in store brought lures such as the gulp alive saltwater shads. I try a pearl white base with yellow and the add a little green but I can only manage to get a mustard yellow or a 'too blueish' type of yellow.
How close to chartreuse is the new Flo. Yellow vs the org. Yellow which is more mustard yellow

i think you will get a much brighter green out of it.

Thanks Larry, so I'll get the Flo. Yellow and Flo. Green and try a few drops yellow with a smidge of green and see if I can get the bright chartreuse I'm looking for.

Here's a pic of a few drops of flo yellow added to clear soft plastic for the tail section. Came out yellow/greenish. I'm sure adding some drops more would of made a more true yellow:

Oh that looks pretty good. Making a white base first then using the Flo. Yellow might make it less translucent.

thanks for the tip with the white. I'm looking forward to trying some color combos once I get my whiggley to swim correctly. one step at a time.
