I have tried and tried many different ways of getting a orange that is basically the shade of a real orange and for the likes of me I can't seem to get it. My orange tends to lean toward the light side. Anyone have any ideas on what I can try or do? I'm using x2 company if that helps and even have mf orange too...thanks
Not an expert,Have tried most of the colorants,lurecraft,X2 ect.What works for me. Is to use Dipping dies.I can see the color I am wanting as I dip the plastic in the die,we have most colors.Start out with a. Clear bait,white,ect.

Please post a pic of orange you are after. When I think of orange I usually make one like this. I can take out the tomato and bump up the drops of orange to make it really blind you when I like. Orange is one of the colorants I no longer use X2 for as it bleeeeeeeeeds when used in amounts to make a good orange. I use upwards of 25-30 drops orange to 4 oz plastic. I use Spike-It for orange.

That orange is like 25-30 drops fluorescent orange, 1/2 drop tomato to 4 oz plastic or so. Take out the tomato if you want more bright fluorescent. I don’t keep up with my written recipes much anymore as I pretty much shoot from the hip now or have my go to’s in my head which I’m constantly tweaking. Lol You can add a smidge of gold hi-lite and even a very fine gold flake if you like.
Thanks ill give that a try...
We are using more and more of a spike it Colors.
I really like that Spike-It tells you which colors bleed.
