I was just curious, as I've been experimenting with some of the new EcoFlo colors (last night, I used Thistle Purple)

I have a 'signature' colour which I'm known for. It's a mix which gives a really rich, warm, chestnut reddish brown.

Horse Chestnut, 'Conker', colour.

Cheers,

Karl

I use Fiebings pro oil red and always diluted to not get it too dark. Check under my topics and you will find some work carrying my fav combo.
