Can anyone tell me what a good color would be to get a really pretty lime or light grass green? I don't seem to recall any color like that. I know I've seen it, just don't know what color it is. Maybe a WYSIWYG color?

TIA :)

A layer of NS-15 Turquesa topped with a layer of NS-09 yellow makes a nice lime color.

Ooooh, that sounds pretty Eric. I don't think I have any Turquesa though. Would another color work with the yellow? Yellow, I DO have.

Thanks .

GA Chartreuse Crayon works well. A thick layer of Sublime over something white gives a nice green too.

Kryptonite or whatever that GA light transparent green is... looks good over white too. ;)

Thanks Chad and Brent. I'll check those colors out. I have sublime and it doesn't do much on it's own. I'll try it over white today and see how it comes out. Might haver to order some Kryptonite though :)

I like a medium saturation colbalt over yellow crayon or acid yellow.

As time goes on I really love sublime by itself. Give it another chance!

Thanks for the tip Chris. I now have lots to try to get my green :)

Hi Genny. I have tried Sublime by itself, encased over white, encased over other colors and it's one color I'm just not impressed with. It's so subtle, that it's barely there. I am assuming it's a wysiwyg color and doesn't strike. I won't give up yet. thanks

I have Emeral Light and True Green in my stash that work well. I think they are GA, possibly a couple years old. I did find Paris Green on their site, which is similar.

You may also want to check out Momka's Envy Green. It develops blue whisps, but it's a great color.

Thanks :)

Have you tried Clover Chameleon?

Clover Chameleon cracks pretty bad. I made three marbles with it, and all three of them cracked.

You may want to try some Twilight. Here is a pendant I made with Twilight.
