Squirrel Nose Color ?

Submitted by JP on 03/31/2003. ( ) 204.211.171.11

I would like to know what color airbrush paint to use on a squirrel's nose. I ordered Polytranspar Mohr Flesh and Flesh, but neither of these look "right". Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Get you some close up referenc pctures of a squirrel. Unless the squirrel was albion which the nose is pink there usually dark brown to black.

Next time you see a Squirrel...ask it which shade of pancake nmakeup it uses.

Other than that...get John Bellucci's Squirrel Reference Photo Sets from WASCO. John is the Premier Squirrel Taxidermist (retired) who has live Squirrel Pets to study and photograph first hand.

I'm not familiar with the colors

I have looked at many squirrel noses in both real life and pictures. The problem is that I don't know that much about reproducing colors. The color is sort of a medium-dark flesh color, but with 10,000polytranspar colors, I'm not sure which will work best.
