I think it's been said on here before, but color matching to named colors from a manufacturer will not help you to grow as a taxidermist. Instead, look to match the colors you see on your reference. Learn to mix colors, either in a bottle, or by overlaying transparent colors. A color wheel will be most helpful in this.

Colors like "bass green" and "belly white" are just blends. Adding a smitch of red to a bright green is what gives it the 'mossy' look. Red and green make brown, and bass green is a brownish green. A touch of black can darken it. A touch of raw umber to pure white gives the belly color.

Art classes can help. Just remember that a good palette of colors includes both a "warm" and "cool" version of each color. For instance lemon yellow and yellow ochre, broght red and magenta. Using a color wheel you can see the opposite of each color and how to tone it to your liking. Test it out on a different surface and see if you like it. It's just paint, you can always wipe it down and start over.

If pre-mixed colors are all you want to do, then just go for a similar color, regardless of the name.

Good luck and have fun!
