Make a color Dark olive-black.I have a cool one I mixed up My favorite for the top of a baitfish plug.Bring it down around the eyes.That always looks good. Do a PearlSilver scale very light.Or just a over spray on top.use chamelions to help blend one color to the next.It covers up the overspray.Something like violetor the other pink tone i forget.

I am thinking you work a nice little fade of iridescent green starting really light at your horizontal lines up towards the top.

A real dark color. Dark blue faded into dark green or black.

ok, here it is. I took a navy blue and added pearl white to the mix then sprayed that on. After dry I hit is with chameleon lilac which turned it a nice purple-lilac color. I put black scales over the top of that for a nice contrast. I will look through the responses to see who came closest to the final color and shoot off one to you. Thanks for all the ideas. Hope you like.
