I'd like this color but maybe a little darker. What's a good formula to start with?

Black Cherry and Plumb Brown. I’ve done similar with a 50/50 mix and it looked close to that.You can also add Graphite Black to darken it up.


If you want less purple you could try this recipe: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-mixology/769

Thanks. That looks a little too brown. I contacted Omaha Outdoors but they won't tell me what they used

Yeah, you’d probably need to play around with the ratios, though I suspect the Omaha stuff is only a two color mix. They’ve usually been pretty easy for me to match using only a couple colors.

I did find an example on Cerakote’s website that was tagged with plum brown and black cherry: https://www.cerakote.com/project-gallery/66963

This looks similar to the mix I did.
