Suggestions please...olive greens?
Would love to have some ideas on olive greens, both opaque and transparent. The right color just hasn't found me yet!

I have really been enjoying the CIM selection of greens, huge choice. Depends on how olive-y you want it, it can be such a personal preference. Have you tried CIM lichen or Cim olive?

Lauscha olive is a bit dark, CIM's olive is a great opaque. Any transparents?

I was just using Effetre 025 today and fell in love with it all over again.

Effetre 025 Transparent Olive Green
There was also CIM Algae but not sure if it's still available anywhere, as it was a limited run.

Reichenbach has 104 Olives in transparent (L4017 - Limette) and opaque (L4203) Olive, but I am not sure where we are supposed to buy them here in North America because OCR in Seattle doesnt seem to have them. I have been wanting to try those colours since last year at this time.

CiM Olive and CiM Slytherin go really great together. I also like using transparent Effetre Dark Grass Green as a lighter olive shade. Effetre's opaque olives bleed, so I prefer CiM. Lauscha's Olive is pretty but striates and bleeds like crazy. CiM Mojito for a lighter Olive is great too.

Call OCR, sometimes they have them but haven't got them on the website yet if they are new. You can also ask them to order them if they don't have them.

Effetre Avocado 210 is a really nice opaque light olive. For a deep olive opaque I agree, the Lauscha one is killer! For a transparent I like Effetre sage green.

You could do what I did and overheat some CIM Kryptonite by accident.

My favorite pastel is this. It says yellow ocher, but it's really green. > http://www.frantzartglass.com/index....oducts_id=4244
Here's an example (round bead on front) >

There's a new olive in CiM's color preview - I think they are releasing it next month. It's called Goblin. I have a couple of rods of it - I haven't tried it yet (it's on my list to test), but it looks dark and luscious! http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=265
I am not sure if I would classify it as olive - it's not quite as yellow as I would see an olive green being....but we'll see what happens when it's melted.
