I tried searching in the archives to find the breast color and back color for a canada goose.I couldn't find anything.I also tried the net and still can't find anything.I would like to repaint my homemade silly's to look better with proper colors,other than brown and grey spray paint.Those colors really are not even close.Thanks to anyone willing to take the time to respond.

If you're painting them by hand, you need to use a combination of colors. Your best bet is to paint them with an antique white (or add brown and yellow to tint the white) Once that's done, take a fan brush and start "layering" a mix of grey and light brown randomly over the antique white. That's what you see in a Canada goose. The primaries are a grey to dark grey with some brown tint. The cheek patch is a dirty white and the neck and head are a white tinted black.
