So I got this pigment sample years ago, and it's a beautiful green. Stupid me, peeled off the label the second I got it, and I don't know what it is! I think it might be kelly green, but I'm really not sure because there isn't a pro shop anywhere near where I live.

So heres a swatch I made, of what little I had left. Hopefully one of you girls can help me identify it! It's one of my favourite colours ever!

Its not golden olive, since theres no gold in it, and I find golden olive to be a much darker colour, but thanks for tryin ><

Here's another pic of it, I must find out! And don't mind the yellowish tinge, my camera gives that off for some reason o_O

Oh and its a bit similar to my swimming, but its more of a truer green with a tiny bit of a silver undertone! Im not much help :[

I think it's the regular dc'd green if it's a frosty finish.

Is it frosty or matte when you swatch it? From the first swatch it looks frosty and the second swatch looks matte.

With the lime-ish color, I'd say True Chartreuse (pro) - at first I thought Chartreuse, but the second photo was much darker and less bright. If it's matte, MAYBE Landscape green. Can you take a photo with your swatch and the container next to it perhaps?

Totally Kelly Green to me. No way is it Chartreuse, that more on the line of Juxt e/s rather than Swimming e/s IMO.

It sort of looks like golder's green to me.

It's just like swimming but a bit lighter?

Yeah, I definitely don't think it's Chartreuse, because from the swatches I've seen of chartreuse, its very yellowy in a way. And my sample has no tints of that in it at all (though apparently my pics aren't very helpful

).

It's just so hard to tell, especially since I don't have a pro shop anywhere near me.

To me, of all the swatches I've seen (Thanks Glitziegal for the link btw) It must be either Kelly green, or Golders Green (I tried finding swatches of the d/ced green but no luck)

Thanks for the help guys <3

It wouldn't be Golders green because that is a new pigment colour and you said you got the sample years ago. I think it looks closest to Kelly green to me, and hopefully it isn't the discontinued green. Maybe try searching the fotd forum for the discontinued one. Somebody may have used it in an fotd

It doesn't really look like golder's green to me.. but if you mix golder's green with maybe a goldish pigment/color it would turn out exactly like your color

Yeah I kinda changed my mind on thinking it was golders green, especially since it's *fairly* new

Yeah I think I'm gonna assume it's Kelly Green, specially since you reminded me golders green is new. I think I'll just try to cp kelly green and hope for the best! im sure itll be gorgeous anyhow, I love greens
