Hackle Color ?

Okay, for you hackle fanatics:

At what point does 'light ginger' become 'dark cream'? Is there a color in between?

Light dark ginger cream, maybe?

Allan, RW here

I believe that's what sport buffs, referees and umpires would say is a judgement call.
I don't see why fly tyers should be any different.

Will this color chart help?

Tyeflies, I think light ginger has a light rusty tinge to it where as dark cream (cream/ginger) does not. Atleast thats how I see it. Later, Jim

Since you brought up the topic here's a color I'm looking for or close to it. A pattern named after a town in Vermont called the Spirit of Pittsfords Mills and calls for a hackle color of "cream ginger".

Okay experts anybody have some or what should it look like, any photo's?? Can't be a cream and a ginger wrapped together as the body calls for one trimmed close.

Fatman,
Using the color chart that Ray posted, I'd use either Light Mottling (pardo), or Light Ginger Dun.
