Paint color for Grizzly Bear Mouth?

Submitted by Nathan on 12/27/2003. ( ) 12.229.254.129

I have an older Grizzly rug that has a terrible pink-colored mouth. I want to re-airbrush the inside of the mouth. Can anyone tell me what color this should be, preferably a model # or exact name of paint color. I have been getting my paints from Jonas. Bros. Thank you..

I use to use dusky Pink. Hydromist #103 then edge up with black, and put mottling in inner lips and gums. I would tone the pallet with a darker drab red. Even using a wide array of reference photos, I had many customers say the mouth was too bright. They looked like real bear, but many people do not like the stark contrast. Now I use a blueberry pattern, Dark blue black Highlighted with Red violet, And purple violet along the gun line. And drab red pallet. All these colors are mixed. But have never had a complaint.
