Danville make 5 different Blue chenille colors, but none called Herring Blue. Is the color in that picture a accurate shade of Blue or did the picture make it a bit different?Quote:

Only problem with that is I have never seen Silver Doc Blue chenille. I have 6 different shades of Blue, FL Blue, Soldier Blue, Powder Blue, Copenhagen Blue and Royal Blue and I have one extra mixed of two of the above.Quote:

I have some but it's close to 30 yrs old. It's on a blank card so I don't know who made it. It's not rayon but The Fly Shop has crystal chenille in Silver Doc.
Whoever finds it let us all know

I really don't think it makes a great deal of difference but it caught me this time! LOL

IIRC, Danvilles nylon fl. blue is close to that. Not sure but I think so.
dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong with using the jigs my point was blackmore went to who ever makes there stuff and says i want this color and you can only make it for me for <enter a number of years> there for geting the shade your looking for might be hard i have been looking thro alot of the big chanail makes colors and i havent seen it yet
its a purple blue kinda funkie
I think I figured out the color pattern. I tied acouple up tonight.I'll try a get a picture of them a post it. I think the flash from the camera may have thrown the color off but it looks like a Wapsi Fl. nylon medium blue number F2507 that I got from Barlows.Kinda has a blue/light purple hew to it.
I know what color it is !
I know I posted this, but I don't see it now. It is FL Blue from Danville and I know that from looking at the pictures of the Mr. Crappie Jigs and that is what they used.
Just noticed the post I made about the colors of blue from Danville got lost in the server crash so here is the pic again and the top middle is the FL Blue....
