FLAME ATMOSPHERE is the key
for your silver colors like the amazons and havana moon, you want a Very oxidizing flame and try getting variations of the color by using a hi oxy flame then drop some clear on it then reduce the hell out of it....there are actually some colors that you can get a really metalic finish by using an almost all propane flame.
as far as your strikers go.......there are many things that influence the colors in your strike....flame atmosphere plays a little part but the bigger thing is how you strike them. some colors you will want to work out all the haze, then kiln strike.. others you will want to work, then let cool till like 600 then use a very bushy light flame to strike them in the fire and watch your colors change before your eyes. If you want some really good advice on these strikers talk to Mr. Smiley (brent graber) he has his striking techs pretty much down.
