OK....You asked for a color recipe thread so here it is....recipes only please lets not fill the thread up with chit chat. Thanks
I love these two MONKEY MILK recipes I received.
Monkey Milk Recipe from DrNip*
"Use a paint can opener scoop full of blue hi-lite, 2 paint can opener scoops full of pearl in 4 oz clear plastic and add .15 black flake to taste. Add a drop of X2 white sometimes to give it a more solid color. You could also decrease the pearl, add no pearl or add more hi-lite. Use a paint can opener for all my hi-lites and pearls. "
Monkey Milk recipe from Crappie Farmer
"Bears baits blue hi lites. 1 scoop about the size of a match head each. .15 black flake to taste. 1/2 cup of plastic. "
Well here is my version of the Monkey Milk.

This is a GLOW PLASTIC recipe I got from CTom
4 oz plastic, soft formula
12 drops of stabilizer
1/2 - 3/4 tsp glow pigment, depending on the glow color
Attachment 233275
I also love this PRO BLUE recipe I received from my friend CTOM.
"You have to create pro blue. Basically its a thin smoke with a ton of blue hi lite and maybe a very tiny amount of plain pearl. You don't want a true pearl, you want to let the amount of blue hi lite cloud the color and it has to be used over, say, white or white pearl. I make my pro blue by melting a small chunk of black plastic in clear along with a smaller piece of blue. Once the plastics have been cooked and mixed together well I add the tiny bit of pearl and the blue hi lite."

I forgot ...there is one more favorite of mine from Dr. Nip. This color when teamed with Black is my all time favorite combination to use when fishing for crappies. I hope Snake River will make me some more tubes soon using this formula.

I like the color of that one in your hand.

I took them to the limited access lake I visit from time to time for a session of letting them swim with the fishes an in about 1hr and 45min. I caught 12 crappie... would have stayed longer, but Momma had an appt. so I had to leave...The feeshy's liked them too.
Ok folks, after clearing with Slab, I am working to put the names (original posters), with a couple hundred color recipes I have collected over a couple year period. May take some time to relocate the threads for most of them. I will post them as I get them done. Unfortunately there are no pictures of the colors, just what’s in them. I hope this will help, and if your looking for a color and it’s not up here yet, I might have it and just haven’t found who the OP is yet. You can pm me and I’ll see if by chance I have it. These have came from other fishing forums, as well as some mold makers which also sell soft plastic bait making supplies...I have a 100 pg composition book with upto 5 recipes on each side and it’s about 1/2 full so I might have what your looking for. Please bare with me as I work through the process.
Now, I must say some have a manufacturers name associated with them but to my knowledge ARE NOT the actual color recipe, just a recipe to get you really close to that color. Also these are not my recipes...
Some do not list amounts just colors that would be from any recipe

I make mine almost the same way, except using green flake instead of black. Tears them up on Rayburn.
Anyone ever use Hobby Lobby Pearl Ex micro powder added to anything to make Monkey Milk powder for jig heads?
I've used this from hobby lobby......

Does not have the blue effect, but makes a great underbelly color.
I do pour plastics but also jig heads.
