My chartreuse gets a wee bit of violet hi lites but I also add a drop of white and a drop of green to a 4 ounce batch too. You have to see it to understand what happens. Then of course there is the blue hi lite in hot pink....in the sun it'll make your eyes water. And I add the uv enhancement to every color, every batch I whip up.
This is how I do my orange except I have a very fine gold glitter as well. Really loving the blue hi-lite in the pink. This will be the way I do it from now on. My chartreuse gets a smidge of green hi-lite as well as 1 drop lime green along with chartreuse. Every now and then I do a drop of white. Mainly on my Mo Magic to make the tail more of a solid chartreuse since it's tail is so thin. Thanks for the advice ctom. I have applied a lot of your techniques to my baits since I started pouring back in September. I keep telling myself I'm going to put eyes on my plastics like you do but just don't get around to doing it.
