Hi everbody

I am in search of a special color since 4-5 weeks, and i am kind of tired...
The colour is this:It's the brightest green of the two, candy apple green.on the right.


I have tried HOK pagan gold over planet green.. not quite that.Too dark, too green.
Any ideas?

In your opinion, is it a silver base with green candy, or green base with gold candy, or gold base with green candy?
Mettalic base tha's for sure.

Thanks for any help.

This may not be it, but I'm sure this would get it very close. You may want to try a straight fine silver toner. I use Global D769 quite a bit.
Use a very fine aluminum type color as the base. Then take some pagan gold and a tad bit of candy green for the candy mix. Don't overdue it on the green as this will overpower the gold.

The finer silver you use as the base, the more brilliant the candy will be.

You can't go by color names, they don't match from different manufacturers. The color on the right looks very much like Candy Lime Gold. I would try it over a silver base, as Taz said, to get the purest color. If it is not green enough for you, try adding a bit of Organic Green Candy into it (using House of Kolor materials).
The green base you used is what made it too dark and too green. I do most of my Candy jobs over silver or gold, unless I want a very dark version of a color. The silver gives you the truest color match to what you mix in your cup. And remember, the more coats you apply, the darker the color gets! Yours is light, so go easy!
