"Natural colors" are generally shades of brown or in some locations shades of grey or black. Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |

| keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Sorry when I was refering to natural colours I was refering to the natural mix of browns usually found in creks and river beds. Mixes do vary some could be all dark shades where as others can go from white through to a dark brown and everywhere in between. Some LFS might mix there own blends that is why I suggested a good look around.
