I have a plan for a set, and I'm trying to put my finger on a really fresh mint green colour in the 104 palette. Cant think of one!! Copper green is close but too reactive, so is dirty martini but too creamy. Any suggestions?
Thanks! x
Green tea?
Kryptonite ?
Pea green?
Or if you are going for transparent have you thought about layering them?
I was going to also suggest Kryptonite or Peacock but I think you might find them to icy
(cross posts)
Kryptonite base with Mojito over the top?
this is kryptonite etched ...

I quite agree!
Effetre pale Emerald (031) is transparent but very similar in colour to copper green...

These are Kryptonite unique, its slightly darker
Kryptonite is gorgeous, isn't it ;D .... I can't believe that I had a rod or two sitting in the bottom of my stash draw for ages too !
I love it with purple, makes the colour really 'pop'

The closest I remember to finding that colour was a bullseye colour that looked a bit like Jade ... not a 104 though I'm afraid
Sadly, the only thing I have resembling that colour is P & T :( Which is pretty much exactly the right shade.
bum. I had an inkling that would be the answer :( ;)
LE archive suggests CiM celadon or Eff Grasshpper?
http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-61942.html
I have some Celadon, but it looks a bit dark ... never tried grasshopper though
I have no spare Kryptonite, but I have a part rod of Celadon if you just need a bit to try before you buy ?
Thanks Les, I have a rod of celadon lying around from a CIM mixed pack, it does look a bit dark I'm thinking grasshopper may be the way forward, off to have a rootle to see if i have a random rod of it! :)
Thanks for the link Vicki! :-*
Most welcome, hope you find something! xx
How about Elephaba?

Love this colour! It's a bit like the lime part of a chocolate lime, YUM! ;D
I think grasshopper may be a bit strong - I would go for green tea.
It's the base on these

Green Tea is definately Mint Green - its yum !
I love tea green, but the batches can vary a bit.
Might the answer to your question lie here?

I have just posted a picture of all the greens I have that could possibly be considered mint. (sorry I haven't figured out how to post directly from phone to here)

(hope that works)
I reckon you should try the pale emerald green over a core of white and etched. I've put the part numbers of all the colours I've got on there too
Grasshopper?
The little spacer of grasshopper I've made looks a good match to that shade on my monitor. Your monitor may vary :D
I have some green tea, my batch seems a lot more white than what you have Kaz (they are so pretty!) I agree the grasshopper is too green green. (if you know what i mean!)
Sabine that website looks awesome, her copper green is exactly what I'm looking for!! Mine is like the dirty copper green though. :(
And Krysia, I love your spacer organisation!! need to see if I have any pale emerald!

Reichenbach do one called mint green in 104 the same colour as you posted
Ionly have 1/2 rod other wise you would be very welcome to it
I am sure I got it from Martin if not it was Plowdens
Is it definitely 104? Reichenbach's website has a mint green in 96 but not 104.
Sure it was 104 I only had one rod and would love some more
I did buy some from plowdens that was 96 and it was lovely to work with
