My first time ordering opal yellow was with the pale stuff. At first I turmed it all pale ivory, LOL. So when I found some of the old dark opal yellow at Frantz' booth at the Bead & Button this last week, i scooped it up.
In case anyone here doesn't know already, the way to coax out the maximum amount of color from opal yellow is to turn the oxy way down and use a lot of propane-similar to a hothead flame.
I hope they manage to make the dark stuff again, but sure seems to be a variable color! It's as bad as coral.
