Crayola Chartreuse (yellow/green)

[jjudge]

Has anyone seen, or made, a chartreuse cast blank?

I have an artist friend that loves that color, loves crayola, (and cornflower blue color). I'm not a color caster, so looking for a blank.

The goal is to make a small (credit card pen) in a crayon shape, and a larger jumbo crayola sized one (slimline?)

Too bad I can't figure out how to make it *feel* somewhat like a (more firm) crayon material (e.g., ebonite in those solid colors)

Joe, is #53 the one you're looking for? List of Crayola crayon colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Personally I think #36 is closer.

Yeah -- 53 doesn't look right, too yellow.
The 36 (electric green) is closer, but too green.

Chartreuse

for a true Chartreuse color look at this link Poor Boy's Lure Dye - LureCraft

They sell dyes for fishing lures that use the alumilite soft plastic.

Now -- that is Chartreuse. Awesome find!

Someone offered to cast/send me a few blanks. But, I think I need to pick up some of that lure dye for future projects in this color scheme.

As I mentioned, its for a friend. She keeps coming up with interesting ideas (Rope pens for chain of western themed stores; Crayola crayon-like pens) ... I'm sure I'll see more chartreuse ideas.
