Default Color ID help

I got this rod as part of a bundle package I bought a few years back and have no idea what it is. It came unmarked and I finally used it and actually really liked the end result. I've narrowed it done to a few possibilities but I'm still not sure what it is. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Do you know if the glass is Effetre or Vetrofond for instance as a starting point?

Can you show the result too? Yellows can be tricky in rod form.

That looks like Effetre apricot yellow to me - I have some that is just that color when heated. It was a "special color". Mountain Glass shows the color - take a look at the paddle and see if it is like your rod It's no longer made, so you may have to hunt for it.

Sadly I have no clue who makes it. Here it is after it's been in the kiln.

My eff.apricot ( both older and new) seems to be more orange yellow with a slight orange striation in rod form.

CIM Pumpkin had a ton of siblings. As Duane, said, it might be one of those; see here:

http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=18
http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=148
http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=149

There was also a 5 and 6: http://www.creationismessy.com/docum...uesPalette.pdf

And while they are all sold out, check around. A number of vendors still have some of the limited runs in stock.

To me, yellows are hard because they can vary so much even with the same number.

I was also thinking 412. My butternut comes out looking a lot like the cooked version, but the rods look darker.
