thread colors for Loomis Bronze

Any ideas for thread colors for Loomis Bronze series?

I've looked at this blank in the house, and it looks gray, with slight olive tones.

Then, I looked at it outside in the sun, and it looked gray, with slight brown/olive tones.

Gotta' say--it doesn't look the slightest bit "bronze" to me, but what do I know?

If it matters, the blank is an SB811BR.

All thread color ideas would be appreciated.

The loomis bronze blank is not same as the factory rod if I remember right Incase your trying to match that. I once called loomis to ask about the color for the IMX series thread. It took some doing but I got the person who actually does the ordering for their thread supply and got the right answer.

Henery you were lucky. In most cases they do not devolge any thing over the phone. Like where do they get their guides, (uless it is Fujie), reelseats and who they get their thread from. It is easer to get some but not all info in person from them.
Good Wraps Bob

To get thread colors for the different Loomis, Lamiglas, or other rods built here in the Pac NW Tommy Thornhill is or has wrapped for them all.
tommystyx@hotmail.com.
Heard Loomis, Lamiglas, etc. are having harder times selling their rods, and it's effecting production workers and outwrappers like Tommy a bunch.
