The colour penetration differs in clear and murky water! color3.gif http://www.forciersguideservice.com/pages/posts/a-question-of-clarity16.php I’ve experimented with blue spiders Martin.

Re: Partridge and Blue. Mole colour effect
;) :) Martin, One of my prized possessions is a wooden spool of blue Pearsall's Gossamer silk, which you helped me get my hands on many years ago. Blue was one of the hardest colors for me to find.
