motor oil chironocone

There's a color called "motor oil" that's very effective in a chironocone - does anybody know how to achieve this effect? I have looked for tubing in this color, but can't find it, only references to the finished fly. Is it just pearl under brown tubing?

I tried it with opal tinsel and olive D-rib. Looks pretty close. Maybe Gold tinsel might have worked better.

Herefishy,
I have some V-Rib small-GOLDEN OLIVE that I got from H&H (Hook n Hackle) that is the color of Motor oil and I betcha it would be perfect for what your lookin for....Item order # VRIB107
Hope this will fix you up

Thanks, will try the tinsel and olive, then look at the golden olive.

Here,
Do you want this D-rib? This is only the second time I've used it in 3 or so years. I had to dig it out of a "back-up" box.
PM me a snail mail addy, and I'll send it to you.
