    Color on the back of a sexy shad

    New to this painting cranks thing but loving it. Want to try doing some sexy shad type baits and can't match the color on the back. Any suggestions?

    Lite blue back(createx carribean blue mixed with some pearl is dead on as suggested) Grey shoulders(scaled) chartruese stripe and on earlier versions a hint of orange around the front hook hanger.......... It seems to change ever since strike king started shooting it

    Thats so true! Other day at BPS I picked up 2 packages of the same color and was holding them side to side and they both were totally different.

    I've taken just the regular blue createx paint and mix some white in it and it's pretty close...and yesterday I caught two fish on it.
