Default mou & gi-fu

Has anyone used these colors? I have been playing with mou, have not dragged out the gi-fu yet. Mou tries to devitrify, but sometimes the colors are great! Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I tried some Mou, but my results were disappointing. I only tried with a couple cabs, but I wasn't able to get a clean-looking reduction, nor did it result in an attractive mottling or swirls. It almost looked like the metallic sheen has been rubbed off in areas.

Gi-Fri is also called Calico if that rings any bells for others or helps you search.

I use Mou, I think it'd only be good for organics, it's like EDP but terra cotta color, I usually use silver leaf with it, but I like it on it's own too.

Here are some threads

Edit...how weird, I thought mine was like a terra cotta sort of color, this shows a caramel? Now I'll have to go look at mine haha

Thank you! Having calico as a cross reference will really help. The mou I have when you first heat it has lavender sheen to it, and then kind if a dusty rose silly putty color. I know that doesn't make sense, I will try to post a pic tonight.
