Color for Wood Duck Feet

Submitted by John on 6/29/05 at 10:24 PM. ( ) 138.89.117.147

What colors would I mix to get the lime-green color that is on a Wood Duck's Feet?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Lime Green?

I've never experience one with lime green feet. Maybe a tinting, but not the primary color.

You can wash the feet with watercolors mixed with a drop of liquid soap and then buff off the majority of the color, leaving color in the scale crevasses. I would use yellow with green mixed in...

But I would use just Wood duck yellow, tinted with paynes grey for the base color.
