Does any one have a color mixture for the light brown/ tan on the muzzel on a black bear? I have a scar that needs to be touched up . It looks almost to have some gold ,

Gold is not a metallic gold, but highlights from the translucent hairs.......Try Van Dyke Brown or Burnt Umber, Turner's Yellow, White and maybe a touch of Burnt Sienna and Colbalt blue to match. Start with White and Burnt Umber or Van Dyke's Brown, add Yellow and then a touch of sienna for warmer tone or blue for cooler tone.

Spring some of those hard earned bucks for a color wheel and a book about mixing colors........Art Supply store near you........


Thanks i will give it a werll
