If you're going for best match, Sage Green.

As for final product, both colors will look great with your skills.

:)  Well not exactly  , I ordered the swatch .  I just got off the phone with Prismatic and order the Sage green .  It will be here on Wednesday of next week . I did asked for swatches 2 shades over and 2 under .  He did say he thought that there is a big difference in shade colors ,but he was going to send them anyway .

  In the meantime I will prep the castings .

     Just to add more confusion look at these. Two different colors on a 700

    The two colors on the left came today .  That Ral 6924 is lighter than I thought it was when looking at the computer screen picture.

In that picture without the reel Miami Teal looks closer,RAL isn't  close at all.

Hard to say without being there.

Still waiting on the Sage green to come in the mail .

   But I had to try out that Miami teal , so I shot 2 reels .  A Dam Quick 238 and a Ted Williams  440 .

Before and after with the 238 .
 Than the 440 .
   And group pictures of the teal against the original Penn green

Very well done.  What do you do with all these reels that you've refurbished?

Not yet, Joe —-

Everything is in place though.

Got hundreds of reels that could be done.

Mitchell's, DQ's, Penns, Cardinals.

Looking forward to starting.

Got the big oven wired a few months ago.

  Looking to compare notes , when dealing with different castings .  Some are a dream and some can drive you crazy , mainly the speed of oxidation .

I like that as well, looks similar to "John Deere Green" says the red-green (Deuteranomaly (green-weak)) color blind person. 

For those interested, color-blindness is real as I see only a very-faint 1 with a squiggle on its left, in the attached test picture.
